Parliament's salute to people's champion
The recipient of the Tynwald Honour this year is Geoff Karran, champion of the Manx community through his many years' work in charity, sport and business.
Mr Karran will be presented with the highest honour the Manx parliament can bestow, in the Royal Chapel this afternoon.
That part of the ceremony to follow after the Acts promulgated from Tynwald Hill earlier are officially captioned, to become the law of the land.
Mr Karran told James Davis he is delighted at the recognition for work which has been his passion:
