The Lord of Mann has invited a Manx policeman to attend her Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.

Constable Michael Griffiths' company was requested by the Lieutenant Governor His Excellency Adam Wood for his work to establish a cadet scheme for 16-18 year olds.

Constable Griffiths was also awarded with the R.K. Eason Trophy at the Chief Constable's Annual Award Ceremony this week.
