Tony Thompson is a harbour keeper in Ramsey and back in November 2025 he joined a crew of seven aboard a 45ft yacht taking on a 3,086‑nautical‑mile voyage from Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands to St Lucia in the Caribbean.

It was part of the world‑famous ARC rally, which sees hundreds of vessels make the transatlantic trip each year, and for Tony - aged 64 and married to Sheila - it was the fulfilment of a lifelong dream.

He's been telling Lewis Foster all about it.

A Manx AC/DC tribute band, who have been playing to crowds for 22 years, have announced plans to disband.

Douglas Council says it's in the 'assessment phase' of dealing with the damage sustained to the sunken gardens during a recent period of bad weather.

Chair of the Regeneration Committee Natalie Byron-Teare believes the Department of Infrastructure's sea wall should be extended to the end of the promenade which is 'most affected' by coastal overtopping and high tides.

The council also claims, despite social media comments suggesting otherwise, the sunken gardens were not designed for defence but to allow the public to enjoy the area with protection from sea breezes.

Councillor Byron-Teare says a capital programme has been approved for new, 'more modern' storm boards.
