Three Legs of Mann lighting column complete for TT

Construction of a new lighting column in the shape Isle of Man's national symbol has been completed in the capital.

A 20ft (6.3m) Three Legs of Mann bracket was mounted on a 39ft (12m) triangular column to finish the structure, which is set to welcome visitors arriving by ferry.

Commissioned by Douglas City Council, the triskelion shaped piece cost £36,000 and is situated on a roundabout in front of the Sea Terminal.

Made from marine grade galvanised metal, it also contains the inscription "Douglas gateway to the island" in English and Manx and an Archibald Knox design that will be illuminated from within.

A spokesman for the local authority previously said the artwork would be a "focus point" for people passing by, especially those travelling to the island on the ferry.
