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:
Officers and partner agencies praised following immigration fraud conviction
Work to improve mooring at Ferry Terminal in Liverpool scheduled for next week
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
More coastal overtopping expected today
