The Speaker of the House of Keys says he believes upholding the traditions of the House are very important.
MHK Steve Rodan, who took over as speaker from Chief Minister Tony Brown, re-instated the wearing of a wig as Speaker - something Mr Brown had chosen to dispense with.
Mr Rodan says the Keys combines "modernity with antiquity" and he's more than aware of the prestigious heritage of the role he fills:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Crews from across the Island ensured cover was available
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
People advised not to enter the water for 28 days
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
Sunday morning closure along Quarterbridge and Peel Road
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Fly tipping warning from police after instances outside Crossroads
