An exclusive film showing of 'Mike Hailwood: An Ordinary Hero' is being screened today.

It's taking place at the Manx Museum at 2pm - the film shows previously unseen footage of the TT racing legend, introduced by his son David Hailwood.

Following the screening the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions about his father, who won a record breaking 14 TT wins in the 1960s and 70s.

Places are limited to see the film, which David describes as a very moving and thrilling journey:
