No celebration to mark longest Lord of Mann reign

Wednesday, 26 August 2015 00:00

Should the Isle of Man be marking the fact the Queen is set to become the longest serving British monarch?

On September 9th Her Majesty will take over from Queen Victoria - it also means she's been the Lord of Mann for the longest.

Government says it has no plans to mark the anniversary although the Post Office did issue a set of commemorative stamps in June and will issue another product on the day.

Douglas West MHK Chris Thomas says he's questioned the Island's response after a constituent raised the issue:
