It's the biggest squad from the Island to travel to the event - 218 competitors and 47 officials will fly the Manx flag in 14 sports at the 16th Games.

The first flight is due to leave Ronaldsway at 10.30am with the second scheduled for 2.40pm.

All the Islands competing bring water from home which is then poured into a water feature.
