Show returns at Knockaloe after 2020 cancellation
Only lockdown would have stopped this year's Royal Manx Agricultural Show taking place.
That's from the show's secretary as proceedings got underway at Knockaloe Farm in Patrick earlier this morning.
The two-day event returns after missing 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Carol Kennaugh says there were concerns over whether this year's show would be able to go ahead:
