Hear how the Isle of Man goes above and beyond for the Royal British Legion
This year's annual Poppy Appeal is underway as the Island prepares to mark Remembrance Sunday (9 November) and Armistice Day (11 November).
This Sunday, a national two minute silence in remembrance of all those who have died in the service of their country will be observed on the Isle of Man at 11am.
Jim Cottier is the Chairman of the Isle of Man branch of the Royal British Legion, which supports veterans, service members, and their families who are in need.
He told Manx Radio why the Island, historically, has gone above and beyond in respect of the Poppy Appeal:
Former air traffic controller speaks out about airport issues
First in series of 'Isle be Ready' sessions to take place next month
New support centre 'an oasis' for cancer patients
Orrisdale Road to close for a month for resurfacing works
ManxSPCA petition on electric shock collars passes 1,000 signatures
