Peter Quayle will be sworn in on Friday
The new Captain of the Parish of Malew says it's an honour to take on the role following the death of Roy Gelling.
Farmer Peter Quayle, whose father and grandfather previously served as captains of Marown, will officially be sworn in on Friday, having been selected to fill the vacancy by the Lieutenant Governor.
Mr Gelling, who died in November, had held the position since 1996.
Mr Quayle says he's always felt supported by his predecessor:
Ramsey Commissioners to stop using AI images on website and social media
Juan McGuinness says it 'runs counter' to its support of local artists
Have your say about Isle of Man Post
Survey running until middle of January
Wildlife park animals to get extra treats on Christmas Day
Keepers try to provide extra enrichment activities for them
Setting a budget can help stop Christmas overspend, say financial advisors
Many people find themselves spending too much or using credit over the festive season
