It will be the first ever Maundy Service to be broadcast live on BBC, as by chance it falls on the Queen’s 85th Birthday.
40 of the Island's Old Age Pensioners are in London today to receive Maundy money from the Queen.
The Island's Bishop Robert Paterson selected the recipients, based on their service to the local community and the church.
It will be the first ever Maundy Service to be broadcast live on BBC, as by chance it falls on the Queen's 85th Birthday.
