The High Sheriff for the Island has thanked Islanders for embracing the very first Isle of Wight Day and reveals the date for 2017's event.
Isle of Wight Day was conceived by the 2015 High Sheriff for the Isle of Wight, Robin Courage.
The first event was held on 24th September 2016 and aims to celebrate all that is good on the Isle of Wight.
As well as being a day of celebration for what if great about the Isle of Wight, the day aims to raise money for several charities on the Island.
Events were held all over the Island sitting under the Isle of Wight Day banner and a parade was held in Newport.
