Three senior judicial appointments in the Isle of Man have been officially recognised.
Andrew Corlett's elevation to Second Deemster, the promotion of Alastair Montgomerie and the appointment of Stephen Harding as the Island's Attorney General were all confirmed at a ceremony at Douglas courthouse.
Deemster Corlett takes over his role from David Doyle, who was recently appointed First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls.
Alastair Montgomerie, who presides over the Island's highest criminal court, has also been made a deemster.
Government advocate Stephen Harding, who succeeds the retiring John Corlett as Attorney General, has been an advocate for more than 18 years, having been called to the Manx Bar in 1992.
