Army surplus shop joins fundraiser for Peel Ukraine hero

Friday, 9 May 2025 12:00

An Island army surplus shop says it'll help boost a fundraiser for a Manx explosives expert who was killed in Ukraine.

Chris Garrett died earlier this week while disarming a Russian device in the war-torn country.

On Facebook, Q's Stores - based on Derby Road in Douglas - says it was an honour to meet him and help him with his work over the last decade.

The business says for every sale it makes over the next week, it'll donate a portion of the profits towards a fundraiser which aims to bring Chris home and help his family.
