The Manx Youth Orchestra has celebrated 40 years in style.
More than 100 former players, some from as far afield as America, returned to join the current ranks for a special concert to mark the milestone.
They then reminisced at a reception, organised by the Friends of the Orchestra, with old photographs and memorabilia.
The man who brought it all together - former orchestra player and now music teacher John Kinley.
