Could start civil partnership 'tourism' for IoM
Today's ceremony for the London couple seeking a formal union short of marriage, could trigger the start of further civil partnership 'tourism' to the Island.
The Equal Civil Partnership Campaign is holding up the Isle of Man as a progressive beacon, for offering opposite sex civil unions.
But will those who travel here have their partnerships recognised in the UK?
Former president of the Isle of Man Law Society Kevin O'Riordon thinks it's possible - with snags:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
