Royal Navy ship on three day visit
A Royal Navy ship with close ties to the Island has berthed in Douglas today.
HMS Ramsey has anchored alongside Victoria Pier for a three-day stay in the Island's capital.
The ship will host a reception on board for invited guests during tonight's red arrow display.
Tomorrow thirteen crew members will head ashore and help marshals during the two scheduled TT races.
