There's actually an update NEWS: Isle of Man Constabulary sends Manx officers to assist with Her Majesty, the Queen's funeral Update: Five officers have travelled to London - a further 10 who were due to travel have been stood down. So it's only 5 out of 240 or whatever. Maybe they're trying to lull the local crims into a false state of security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
