Archibald Knox was born 150 years ago this week.

A number of events are taking place to mark the milestone, including the unveiling of a prestigious blue plaque at the address of his former home and studio in Athol Street Douglas.

Meanwhile, a special concert will be held at St German's Cathedral in Peel this evening with specially commissioned music and talks about Knox.
