Visitors praise Manx spirit after gales

TT visitors have been praising the Island's community spirit after its response to a stormy night.

Gales battered the Isle of Man overnight - prompting people to open up their homes to those facing a night under cold wet canvas.

Today, TT Facebook groups have been inundated with offers of help such as clothes drying and places to get warm again.

One visitor said: 'People of the Isle of Man, be very proud of yourselves as to how generous you are all being during the bad weather, for the visitors - I'm so impressed with your generosity of spirit!'
