I would like to dedicate a few words to Sir Norman Wisdom who departed life last evening.

He loved the Isle of Man and the TT almost as much as I do but he also lived on the Island for a number of years.

I remember spectating one year at Governors Bridge and had walked to the "Home" on the beginnings of the Glencrutchery Road just after the Bridge.

I could hear laughing to my left and turned to see in the middle of the group of people no other than Norman who had everyone in stitches.

The racing continued and everyone was now screaming with laughter.

We've seen all of his films and I feel that had a remake been made of "No Limit" he would have been a great Shuttleworth.

We won't forget you Sir Norman.

I feel a suitable plaque would be in order situated somewhere on the Island where people could remember him.
