Motorists have been warned to expect some disruption around Knockaloe Farm in Patrick today due to the Royal Manx Show.

The two day agricultural event is now underway and will see hundreds of people attend.

Routes to the show-field are clearly marked with drivers asked to try and use the main route through St Johns.

Additional bus services will run throughout both days from St John’s, Patrick village and Peel.

Police will also be on points duty in an effort to minimise any delays.
