The Island Games is as much about camaradery as it is about sport and the Isle of Wight team in Guernsey has been sharing photos to prove it.

They arrived in the beautiful Channel Islands a week ago today (Friday), in time for the opening ceremony - at which water collected at Ventnor was collected and shared with water from around the world.

From trips to see the sights and the sunset, special family moments and making new friends, memories are being made at the 2023 inter-island competition.

Scroll through the photos above, to see some of the special bonus bits that accompany the chance to represent the Isle of Wight on a world scale.
