Palestine march attracts dozens as "Manx Day" supporters fail to show up

Organisers of a protest against genocide in Gaza say those planning a "Manx Day" to coincide with the march didn't show up.

The Amnesty International Isle of Man group held the march on Saturday from the Sunken Gardens to Douglas City Centre.

Dozens of people joined the demonstration against the ongoing Middle east conflict, holding signs and placards as well as carrying Palestinian flags.

But a "Manx Day" advertised on Facebook in response to the demo never materialised despite being advertised on Facebook.
