Peter Kelly to be recognised for 'outstanding contribution to Manx life'
Architectural historian Peter Kelly MBE CP RBV is to be awarded a Tynwald Honour.
The medal is given to recipients who have made an outstanding contribution to Manx life over a significant period of time.
Chair of the Tynwald Management Committee and Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson described Mr Kelly is 'one of the Isle of Man's foremost champions of Manx heritage, architectural conservation and voluntary service'.
Mr Watterson explained why Mr Kelly had been nominated:
Mr Watterson pointed out to members that Mr Kelly couldn't be in the Tynwald gallery to hear the speeches made about him today (19 May) because "he is on the campaign trail trying to save a building in Castletown".
