The TV cameras are at the ready, the United Kingdom national press is on standby but a bid to bring some seasonal cheer to the Island’s elderly on Christmas Eve is hanging in the balance.
Opera singer Nicky Spence (pictured) is travelling around the North of England in his role as Patron for the charity Help the Aged.
But the plan to come to to the Isle of Man is in doubt, unless transport arrangements can be made.
Nicky is making this plea:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Crews from across the Island ensured cover was available
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
People advised not to enter the water for 28 days
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
Sunday morning closure along Quarterbridge and Peel Road
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Fly tipping warning from police after instances outside Crossroads
