Sir John Lorimer pays tribute to Her Majesty
The Island lieutenant governor says The Queen will be remembered for her humility, grace and loyalty to everyone.
Sir John Lorimer, who met Her Majesty on a number of occasions, will attend her state funeral on Monday.
He delivered the first proclamation of King Charles as Lord of Mann on Sunday, and will do so again from Tynwald Hill on Friday.
Speaking this afternoon, he's been reflecting on the previous days and the transition from Queen to King:

Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
