SIR Norman Wisdom has made his final journey along the Douglas Promenades.

The body of the Isle of Man's most famous resident travelled in a horse drawn carriage along the seafront just moments ago.

Thousands of well-wishers lined the route clapping as the comedy great passed by.

The weather managed to hold until Sir Norman reached St George's Church - where the funeral service is currently under way.

Norman Wisdom died on October 4 at Abbotswood Nursing Home in Ballasalla. He was 95.
