Two Island residents will today (Friday) leave the Island for a very special pilgrimage.
Douglas man James Palmer (pictured) and Mark Watson from Port Erin are travelling to the Roman Catholic shrine of Lourdes for the 150th anniversary of the reported appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St Bernadette.
James says the three day visit will mean so much:
Douglas wine bar to close its doors
Vino has been on North Quay since 2015
Tributes paid to marshal dubbed 'one of the unsung heroes of TT and MGP'
Kenny Hall gave an incredible 68 years of service
