No drone zone on Tynwald Day

Flying drones during festivities on Tynwald Day will be banned this year under new regulations from the Department for Enterprise.

The rules will restrict all aircraft from flying near Tynwald Hill from 10am until 1pm on Monday, July 6.

A set of regulations each year introduces restricted airspace banning all aircraft - manned or unmanned - from the area as Tynwald gathers for the annual ceremony in St Johns.

Anyone breaching the rules can face prison time or a fine of up to £10,000.
