Street parties are taking place around the Island to celebrate the Royal Wedding.

Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot at Westminster Abbey this morning and will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Eight streets are closing for parties, including in the Crofts in Castletown, in the grounds of Foxdale school and a marathon 11 and a half hour bash in Oxford Street, Douglas which started at 9.30am.

There are also Street parties in Onchan's Windermere Avenue and Marina Close where there was something of an international flavour among the households taking part . .
