IOM celebrates Tynwald Day

The Island comes together today to celebrate its National day.

Tynwald Day is set to take place in St John's this morning-and will continue throughout the afternoon and evening, with Tynwald Hill taking the spotlight.

The formal Ceremony will see the procession from the Royal Chapel to Tynwald Hill, to hear each act of Tynwald being read out in Manx and English in front of officials, guests, and the King’s representative His Excellency Sir John Lorimer - Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man. 

The day will end at 10pm where Ellan Vannin Pipes and Drums will play the Manx National Anthem on the Hill.

 A list of all activities with the planned timetable are available from the Tynwald Day Information Hut.
