The generosity of passengers on ferry services to and from the Island is being praised by a Manx charity.

Commemorative plaques were unveiled aboard the Mannannan and Ben-My-Chree vessels to acknowledge those who have donated to the Rob Vine Fund.

More than £255,000 has been raised on Steam Packet Company sailings during TT fortnight over the last 23 years.

The fund was established in memory of Rob Vine who died after a crash at the Black Dub in the 1985 Senior TT.
