The Rotary Club of Douglas will hold a remembrance service to mark the 62nd anniverary of the Winter Hill plane crash.

Some 35 Manx residents lost their lives on the slopes of Winter Hill, near Horwich, in the crash.

The service will take place at Cooil y Ree Park, in St John’s on February 27 at 11am.

As well as remembering those who lost their lives, their families and friends, thanks will also be given to the residents of Horwich - and in particular members of the Rotary Club of Horwich - who helped in the rescue of survivors and provide comfort and support.

It will be followed by refreshments at Green’s Cafe, in St John’s.
