TODAY'S (Friday) Isle of Wight County Press contains a significant error.

Due to a problem at our new print centre in Southampton, one of our CP Local pages appeared twice, overwriting one of our Births, Marriages and Deaths pages.

We at the Isle of Wight County Press know how sensitive these announcements are, and are truly sorry for the mistake.

We will be contacting the families of those affected as soon as possible to offer our apologies and arrange refunds.

We will have paper copies of the missing page available at our Pyle Street office from 9am.

Publisher and editor Alan Marriott said: “I cannot be more sorry. We realise the sensitivity and importance of these announcements and will do all we reasonably can to make things right for those affected.”
