Tynwald Day Ceremony takes place today

Tue, 05 Jul 2011

The annual Tynwald Day Ceremony takes place in St John's today.

New Bills which have passed through the House of Keys and Legislative Council since last year's ceremony will officially be written into Manx law.

Members of Tynwald, the Manx judiciary system and other noteable guests will be present at the event.

This year's guests include the crew of the final trip on the space shuttle discovery, and TV physicist Professor Brian Cox.

We'll have live reports from today's ceremony throughout the morning.
