Crowd gathers to remember residents lost to suicide

Bereaved Survivors of Suicide carry lit-up batons across Douglas prom

A large crowd walked the length of Douglas Promenade last night (10 September) in memory of those who've died by suicide on the Island.

Carrying lit-up batons, the group heard the names read out of those residents who, in recent years, have taken their own lives.

Organised by Bereaved Survivors of Suicide Isle of Man, a minute's silence was also held.
