The life of a former Onchan MHK and member of the Legislative Council will be celebrated this afternoon (Friday).
Ray Kniveton's funeral takes place at St Peter's Church in the village, at 2pm.
Mr Kniveton, who was also an Onchan commissioner, passed away suddenly last week at the age of 78.
Former board colleague Brian Stowell says his input and desire to serve the community was tireless:
