Tributes paid to Island's groundbreaking sculptor

Tributes are being paid to a world-famous Manx sculptor who's died at the age of 95.

Bryan Kneale was a founding member of the Isle of Man Arts Council in 1965, and was one of the Island's best-known artists.

He was the first abstract sculptor elected to the Royal Academy and was awarded an MBE in 2019 for his outstanding services to art.

One of his final works, Eelips, is due to be unveiled next month in the Tynwald National Park and Arboretum in St Johns.
