As the start of a new era draws near in Manx politics, the outgoing president of Tynwald says the Isle of Man should always stand proud as a nation.
Noel Cringle will stand down next month, after eleven years as the figurehead of the Island's parliament.
Mr Cringle, who had his first experience of politics as a member of Arbory Commissioners, and was first elected as an MHK in 1974, says the time has come for a change:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
DfE says schemes have been 'generally well received'
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
'Stand Up to Suicide' message continues to be spread
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
Meetings to be held in coming weeks following review
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
Nearly two weeks of action planned for Snaefell Mountain Course
