RNLI founder's plaque gets new temporary home

A new plaque commemorating the founder of the royal National lifeboat Institution is on show in Douglas.

The life-sized bronze memorial to Sir William Hillary has been loaned to Douglas Council by the RNLI until a new lifeboat station is built in the capital.

The portrait features a laurel wreath, lifeboat and the Tower of Refuge.

It's now in the Marine Gardens on Douglas promenade near other RNLI memorials.
