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:
Rugby: Vagabonds Ladies extend lead atop league table
Douglas side win without conceding
Football: Wins for second division top three
Three points separate Castletown, Foxdale and Gymns
Atherton best FC Isle of Man at The Bowl
Ravens slump to back-to-back home defeats
Hockey: Halfway point of mixed season approaches
All points paramount at both ends of all divisions at this stage
