Tributes are being paid to a stalwart of Manx athletics, who died at the weekend.
Murray Lambden won the Parish walk in 1978 and represented the Isle of Man at the Commonwealth Games.
In recent years, he also campaigned over the horse trams on Douglas Promenade and ran the Parish Walk's official website.
On Twitter, the Manx Harriers Athletics Club described him as a 'fabulous athlete' and 'a true ambassador for athletics'.
