The Isle of Man Commonwealth Games team will arrive in Glasgow later today.
About half the team left the Island on this morning's ferry to Heysham - the rest are making their own way to Scotland or are still competing on the international stage.
The squad of 46 is the largest ever sent and will be competing in 9 sports.
General Team Manager Trevor Taubman says the one disappointment in the final preperations was the dramatic injury to Mark Cavendish at the end of the opening stage of the Tour de France.
However, he believes the team is strong and expects some great results in the next few weeks:-Clip 1
