Two Island residents will today (Friday) leave the Island for a very special pilgrimage.
Douglas man James Palmer (pictured) and Mark Watson from Port Erin are travelling to the Roman Catholic shrine of Lourdes for the 150th anniversary of the reported appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St Bernadette.
James says the three day visit will mean so much:
