Firefighter from the Island to take part in Coronation

A firefighter from the Isle of Man will take part in the King's Coronation this weekend.

Amber Carridge will represent the Island's Fire and Rescue Service as one of the official street liners for the procession on Saturday May 6.

Amber was the first female whole-time firefighter on the Island, and will be one of only 20 uniformed Fire and Rescue personnel representing the service at the event.

Around 200 members of uniformed civilian services, including Police, Coastguard, prison and probation and St John Ambulance have been invited to take part in the celebrations.
