Message from the Prince of Wales also read out
The Queen's birthday was marked by a number of events and gestures around the Island on Thursday.
One was the lighting of a beacon at St John's, an action repeated throughout the UK, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.
Ahead of the beacon's lighting, a message of congratulations from the Prince of Wales was read out on his behalf by Captain of the Parish of German Allen Corlett.
A small crowd of around 40 people gathered to watch.
Here's what some of them thought:
Warning against parking illegally at Douglas War Memorial
Liverpool Airport patient quiet lounge to stay in its current location permanently
Fine for Douglas man who subjected taxi driver to racist abuse
Weather warning issued for Thursday as high winds and tides continue
Isle of Man marks World Suicide Prevention Day
