Where are the island's Remembrance services?

Services are being held in communities across the Isle of Man to mark Remembrance Sunday

People are being invited to join services and gatherings across the Isle of Man to mark Remembrance Sunday.

The 2025 events have an additional poignancy as this year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.

Communities will be gathering at local war memorials or churches, with two major services taking place in the capital and in St John's.

Douglas

The commemorations begin with a parade from Market Hill at 09:20 GMT through the High Street to St Thomas' Church on Finch Road.

A special service will then be held in the church, conducted by Rev Liz Hull.

The congregation will then process to the promenade, led by Douglas Town Band, along with the standard bearers, military personnel and the mayor of Douglas.

The Act of Remembrance will then take place at Douglas war memorial, including a two-minute silence at 11:00.

St John's

Members of Tynwald will be among the congregation for the National Service of Remembrance in the Royal Chapel in St John's at 15:00.

The service will be attended by the island's lieutenant governor, the president of Tynwald, and Chief Minister Alfred Cannan, who will also lay wreaths at the National War Memorial following the service.

The cenotaph, which sits between the Royal Chapel and Tynwald Hill in the centre of the island, commemorates all of the Manx men and woman who lost their lives in both world wars.

A wreath-laying ceremony will take place at the national cenotaph in St John's in the afternoon

Ramsey

In the north, Ramsey Commissioners are holding their annual Civic Service of Remembrance at the war memorial in the grounds of the town's former courthouse.

People who want to take part have been asked to gather by 10:45 for the service, with veterans and ex-service personnel invited to take part in a march at its conclusion.

In the event of "severely inclement weather", the local authority said the service would instead be held in St Paul's Church in Market Square.

And St Paul's will be the venue of the service of remembrance of the Ramsey branch of the Royal British Legion at 18:30.

Onchan

The annual commemorations begin with a parade to St Peter's Church starting from Elm Tree Road at 09:45.

Following the service in the church, those taking part will make their way to the village's war memorial on Main Road.

A short ceremony, including the reading of the names on the memorial, and wreath laying service will take place from 10:50.

The local authority is holding its civic remembrance service at Arbory Parish Church, on Main Road in Ballabeg.

A parade to the church will take place from Arbory School cark park, setting off at 10:35, followed by the church service at 10:50.

Organisers said the parade would be cancelled in the event of rain.

Peel

The commemorations start with a march of uniformed organisations, accompanied by Castletown Metropolitan Silver Band, will set off from the market place at 14:30, processing to St German's Cathedral.

The Royal British Legion's Service of Remembrance will then be held from 15:00, including music from the Cathedral Choir and the band.
