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:
