Sir John: 'Thank you for the warm welcome'

The Isle of Man's new Lieutenant Governor has taken to social media to thank islanders "for making him feel so welcome".

Sir John Lorimer said he is looking forward to "making his home on the island" and "playing a full part in the community".

He added that Wednesday was "amazing" -when he was sworn-in as the island's 31st Lieutenant Governor.

Today was an amazing day. I was sworn in as the 31st Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man: an honour and a privilege. We very much look forward to making our home on the island and playing a full part in the community. Thank you to everyone who has made us feel so welcome. https://t.co/2vney5SZFR
