There's been a schedule change to the festival of motoring.

A Motorcade originally scheduled as part of this weekend's Festival will now take a different route.

Organisers say following the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and after discussions with the Police, plans have had to change so as not to disrupt local people being able to get to church.

All cars are now asked to meet at the Jurby Circuit at 10am on Sunday before heading to Ramsey.

No other alterations to the festival schedule are expected.
