An MHK has called for a strong cultural identity on the Island in a speech to nationalists.
Douglas South MHK Chris Thomas addressed crowds at the annual Illiam Dhone commemoration at Hango Hill in Castletown this week.
He said the Island’s inclusive cultural identity boosts our quality of life, and helps us stand out in the global market.
And he added sharing stories of people who make the Island a great place can help build its international reputation.
