People are being urged to send well wishes to a 99-year-old war veteran who has fallen ill.
The Onchan branch of the Royal British Legion posted on its social media page to spread the message.
It comes following President Hector Duff being admitted to Nobles Hospital, with the acclaimed and much loved veteran turning 100 next month.
He has already received nearly 400 messages, but people are being urged to keep sending their well-wishes, saying it's sure they will cheer him up.
