His Worship the Mayor hosted a reception for members of the Isle of Man Special Olympics team following their medal-winning triumph at the Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi.
17 athletes from the Island were among some 7,500 competitors from more than 190 countries competing across 24 sports.
(Swimmer Andrew McGeehan swam in the team relay just two days after breaking his toe in the swimming pool).
Special Olympics Isle of Man is one of three charities which will benefit from the 2018-2019 mayoral charity appeal.
