Horse trams to remember staff and horses who served

Douglas horse trams says it'll remember some of the Island's most unusual draftees today.

Armistice Day commemorations will see a two-minute silence marked across the Island at 11am.

On Facebook, Douglas Bay Horse Tramway says it'll remember 59 tram staff who were requisitioned at the start of World War I - as well as 41 Manx horses.

They were sent to Ormskirk in 1914, before serving on the Western Front and elsewhere.
