Different Island organisations have been showcasing their Christmas decorating skills at Ramsey's first ever Festival of Trees.

15 separate groups have their creations on display at Ramsey Town Hall until January 4, including Hospice Isle of Man, Queens Pier Restoration Trust and Ramsey Grammar School.

Chairman of Ramsey Town Commissioners, Andy Cowie, is thanking all those who've supported the festival in its debut year.

He added some of the exhibits carry a serious message, and the event is a useful way of how each one can portray it's message to the public.
