'All creatures great and small' are being invited to the Island's annual Pet Service this weekend.
Ballaugh Parish Church is the venue for what's described by the organisers as 'a heart-warming occasion'.
The Reverend Cyril Rogers and the Reverend Grace Easthope will bless animals of all shapes and sizes from cats, dogs and hedgehogs to hamsters, gerbils and even cockatoos.
The service is on Sunday at 3pm and will include a collection for animal charities in the Island.
