David Downie has been named as one of five Isle of Man residents recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

The medical technologist has worked at the hyperbaric chamber, a life saving facility that helps divers and people with medical conditions, since it was set up in 1984.

"It's totally amazing, I've been doing this for a long time, enjoyed every minute, but why somebody should come along and give me such an honour, I'm dumfounded," he said.
