Tribute was paid to Manx cyclists Jonny Bellis and Mark Cavendish at the Villa Marina last night.
Both received a glass trophy from Chief Minister Tony Brown to recognise their involvement in the Beijing Olympics.
Cav was also given an award to honour his historic four stage victories at the Tour de France.
