Milner's Tower, Port Erin's famous landmark, marks its 150th anniversary this month.

Rushen Heritage Trust is holding a memorial service to celebrate on October 9, and an exhibition will run at St Catherine's Church Hall.

The display will look at the life and legacy of William Milner and how the tower on Bradda Head was built in his honour, featuring art and photographs from WWII veteran James Fenton.

More details about what will be featured will be revealed on the Rushen Heritage Trust Facebook page.

The Church will be open to view the exhibition from 10am-4pm from 21-31 October.
