Traffic to be diverted around St John's
The Isle of Man will say goodbye to one of its best-loved sons this afternoon.
The funeral of John Kennaugh - broadcaster, farmer, preacher, commissioner, justice of the peace and Captain of the Parish of German – takes place at St John’s Methodist Church on Main Road from 1.30pm.
With large crowds expected, police say they’ll divert traffic around St John's this afternoon.
Richard Hall, the leader of the Methodist Church on the Island, says John touched a huge number of lives in the community he loved:
