RAF Valley will bring a taste of the London Coronation festivities to the Isle of Man on Saturday when four Texan T Mk 1 aircraft flyover Douglas.
It is anticipated the aircraft, which will be in formation throughout, will be visible above Douglas at 17:11 - although this is weather dependent and subject to change.
Isle of Man Post Office issue 12 stamps marking the coronation of King Charles III
Eight of the stamps feature images of HM King Charles III and HM Queen Camilla in a mix of ceremonial events and more social occasions. Three show portraits of the King by Richard Stone, June Mendoza and David Griffiths with the final stamp showing HM the King's cypher.
A Manx Gaelic version of the coronation emblem has been approved for use in the Isle of Man by the Lord Chancellor’s Office.
The emblem and its English and Welsh language versions will feature throughout the historic events in May. The design features flora of the British Isles paying tribute to The King’s love of the natural world. Together, the flowers create the shape of St Edward’s Crown, with which His Majesty will be crowned next month.
