Relay on second day of tour around the Island

Distinguished Manx athletes Christian Varley MBE and Peter Kennaugh MBE have described it as 'an honour' to be part of the Queen's Baton Relay on Island.

The baton is visiting the Isle of Man this week as it passes through the 72 Commonwealth nations ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham this summer.

Mr Varley and Mr Kennaugh teamed up with a cycling team to take the baton from the NSC towards Tynwald Hill earlier today.

Both say the occasion brings back 'great memories':
