New boards recognising those who have made great contributions to Manx life have been presented at the Royal Chapel in St Johns.

They list the names of those awarded on the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour and the Tynwald Honour.

President of Tynwald, Steve Rodan, says they represent a fitting tribute to the men and women - past and present - who have dedicated themselves to helping Island communities.

Tynwald approved the introduction of the honours boards in 2016 as an alternative to commemorative plaques.
