Balloons were released in the colours of the Bell Yamaha Racing Team.

The ashes of a TT competitor who died while racing last year have been scattered on the Island.

Ian Bell, who died during the second sidecar race at TT 2016, would have been 60 last weekend.

His son Carl, who competed alongside him as his passenger, scattered the ashes along the start - finish line of the Billown course.

60 balloons in the Bell Yamaha Racing Team colours were also released to mark the occasion.
