The spirit of the Commonwealth Games will be coming to the Isle of Man's shores in the form of the Queen's Baton Relay later this month.

Manx athletes and representatives from India will escort the baton round the Island's schools on November 16.

There will be a chance for the public to see it, when some of the Island's Commonwealth Games hopefuls run a relay along Douglas Promenade, from 6pm.

Liaison officer for the relay in the Isle of Man Danielle Mottram explains what the baton represents:
