Victoria said: "Our locals at The Folly Inn have become like extended family to Lee and I. We’re a real community here.

"Holding an exclusive party just for residents of this wonderful Island, we are lucky to call home, felt the perfect way to toast our first summer season at the pub and everyone’s busy summer period here.

"It certainly was a night to remember — and excellent fun — with the very best local entertainment for Islanders to sit back and enjoy.

"We couldn’t believe the turnout."
