Torch nominations close on Monday

The task of finding suitable people to carry the Olympic torch during its visit to the Isle of Man next summer is continuing, but time is running out to make nominations.

Monday (September 12) is the final chance to submit the names of individuals who have made a difference to their local communities and inspire others.

Those selected will have the honour of carrying the torch when Lloyds TSB brings it to the Island next June, as part of a relay across the British Isles.

Nominations can be made online via lloydstsb.com/carrytheflame

One rule is that people whose names are put forward must approve their nominations before they are posted online.
