WITH the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in full swing, here's how the Isle of Wight's travel operators are marking the big occasion.
Wightlink has decorated its ports with lots of bunting, and has thanked its colleagues for their help in setting it all up.
Hovertravel has organised a fly through The Solent to the Isle of Wight's iconic Needles to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
The 70-mile flypast will last two hours, taking in Osborne Bay, Cowes, Ryde, Seaview and Bembridge.
