Sir John Lorimer will be attending the opening ceremony in Orkney later
The Lieutenant Governor has praised the efforts of the athletes representing the Isle of Man at the Island Games.
The event is being held in Orkney, with the opening ceremony taking place later today.
Two years ago the Manx squad brought home more than 60 medals, including 20 golds, finishing third in the medal table in Guernsey.
But Sir John Lorimer says simply being part of the team is a huge achievement:
Hockey: Castletown crowned Ladies Premier League champions
Three other titles decided on Saturday
Rugby: Douglas keep playoff hopes alive
Much needed 31 point victory for Island side
Football: St Mary's into FA Cup Final
Douglas side will face Corinthians
FC Isle of Man claim comeback win to secure league safety

FC Isle of Man to host struggling City of Liverpool
