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:
Storm Boelo updates
Weather warnings will be in place throughout the weekend
New amber warning issued
Storm Boelo is bringing strong winds and rain to the Island
Island Rotary Club Marks World Polio Day
Rushen & Western Mann branch donates to disease eradication fund
Douglas Council says 'anti-fragile' systems in place to deal with severe storms
Leader Devon Watson says council budgets for 'unforeseen circumstances'
