The Royal British Legion is thanking the Manx public for preserving the Island’s proud record in the annual poppy collection.
A last minute appeal was launched earlier this week as the Island fell behind its target with two days remaining.
However, a ?1,000 donation from Chrystals has kept the Isle of Man at the forefront nationally, by raising a total of ?81,364.
The Island has enjoyed tremendous success in raising more money, per head of population, than any other county in the British Isles.
Isle of Man County Publicity Officer, Major Charles Wilson, is delighted:
Researching your Manx family history can be a very interesting and rewarding hobby. Trace your roots in the Isle of Man with our helpful of guide.
