Ramsey’s branch of the Royal British Legion is to give a guard of honour for Chris Garrett as he returns home for the final time tomorrow.
Mr Garrett, known as Swampy, volunteered to support Ukrainian forces in their war against Russia and died after an incident earlier month.
He founded Prevail Together, a bomb disposal charity, and had been volunteering in Ukraine for several years.
The branch said: “This is open to anyone who would like to take part, in uniform, blazers and medals or indeed any attire you wish.
“After we have performed the parade we will then provide a motorcade to Peel with Manx, British and Ukrainian flags flying high on the vehicles, ensuring Chris makes his final journey home.”
It added he is due to arrive at around 3:25pm.
The Moddey Dhoo MCC will lead a motorcade via Ballamodha and St Johns before arriving in Peel and has invited anyone who wishes to to join them.
