Veteran broadcaster remembered
An official tribute has been paid to 'the voice of Tynwald' Ian Cannell, who has died.
The veteran broadcaster, who passed away on Saturday, was this morning praised for his long service to the Island's parliament by President Steve Rodan.
Mr Rodan described him as 'a true Manx gentleman' and a 'true friend of Tynwald'.
He said his 'dignified, fluent and informed commentary' had illuminated proceedings during his five decades as the Tynwald Day commentator.
Mr Cannell was also involved in various roles with the Royal British Legion on and off the Island, and was the first official TT commentator for Manx Radio - where he also had a spell as general manager.
