The Covenant is an official declaration of the Island’s recognition of and support for Isle of Man residents who serve or have served in the British Armed Forces.
The Covenant seeks to ensure the Island’s military veterans and active personnel are not disadvantaged by their service.
The occasion provided the Mayor and the Mayoress Mrs Gill Skinner with an opportunity to meet with reservists at the Army Reserve Centre in Lord Street, Douglas.
