Movember marked with manly Manx muzzies

An Island heritage organisation says it's hoping to show off the greatest facial hair in Manx history, as part of a health campaign this month.

Movember is an annual month-long event which sees men grow moustaches to highlight issues such as prostate and testicular cancer.

Manx National Heritage took to Twitter this week to announce it would scour its archives for the finest examples of whiskers across the centuries.

Its first photo is that of lifeboatman George Kelly, who won gallantry medal in 1888 and sports an enormous moustache.
