Tynwald is the oldest parliament in existence in the world with roots deep into Viking History.
"Our little nation is the only Norse nation now on earth that can shake hands with the days of the Sagas, and the Sea-Kings. Then let him who will laugh at our primitive ceremonial. It is the badge of our ancient liberty, and we need not envy the man who can look on it unmoved".
Tynwald Day is always held on July 5th except if it falls at the weekend. Then, normally, it is moved to the following Monday.
What ever your plans are for tomorrow spare a moment to think about this historic occasion and how it marks the island apart.
The weather is due to be suuny so it should be a wonderful day on the Hill!
