Ground broken by Lieutenant Governor and Lady Lorimer
Ground's been broken on the new Mannin Cancers Macmillan Support Centre.
Opposite Noble's Hospital, it promises to offer a warm and welcoming environment while supporting patients and their carers.
Lieutenant Governer, Sir John Lorimer and Lady Lorimer performed the turning of the sod ceremony earlier.
Julie Stokes, chair of the Mannin Cancers Support Group says 12 years on from the launch of the charity's fundraising efforts she never dreamt they would reach this point:
Amber weather warning issued as strong winds and coastal conditions expected overnight
Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
Manx Mountain Marathon route diverted over safety concerns amid forecast strong winds
