Island residents are being encouraged to celebrate this year's Armed Forces Day.
It will take place on June 26th and shows support and appreciation to those who have served and who continue to do so.
Serving men and women will join veterans as they parade on Douglas Promenade - they'll also be joined by the cadets and five of the Island's secondary schools.
This will be followed by a service in the Villa Marina and an afternoon tea event.
The Island has been marking the day for nine years - Brigadier Norman Butler explains why it's so important:
Fire crews deal with utility room blaze
Post Office suspends mail to Venezuela
Mountain Road closed due to snowfall
Yellow weather warning for snow and ice
Local authority homes could be improved
Questions about waiting times for stomach procedures
Planned changes to employment laws to be read in Keys
Peel's up next for Christmas lights!
