 
                            The Island's capital has again been awarded nine 'Green Flags' for its outdoor spaces.
UK charity Keep Britain Tidy considers spots such as Noble's Park, Douglas Head, and the Marine Gardens as the 'benchmark standard' for recreational spaces.
Douglas Council first joined the scheme in 2013.
Regeneration and Community Committee Chair Andrew Bentley believes retaining nine flags is a particularly impressive achievement after the damage caused by Storm Barra.
