TT Lap Tonight To Celebrate His Life

Today marks the 10th anniversary of TT legend Joey Dunlop.

Joey, from Northern Island, died while racing in Estonia, 10 years ago today.

He was the most successful rider in TT history, winning 26, a record which many say won't ever be beaten.

To celebrate the life of the racing icon, at the request of his wife Linda, there is a lap around the TT course tonight.

Anybody can take part, it starts at 7PM from the Grandstand.

There is a fee of £10 which will go toward the Joey Dunlop Foundation, which has recently had a multi million pound home open up for the disabled at Braddan Bridge.
