Tynwald Day 5/5
The session is held in both the Royal Chapel of St John the Baptist and the open air on Tynwald Hill (an artificial mound). The meeting, the first recorded instance of which dates to 1417, is known as Midsummer Court. It is attended by members of the two branches of Tynwald: the House of Keys, and the Legislative Council. The Lieutenant Governor, the representative of the Lord of Mann, presides except on the occasions when the Lord or another member of the British Royal Family is in attendance.
In 1753, the Isle of Man chose to replace the Julian Calendar with the Gregorian Calendar after Great Britain had already done so; the move required a shift of eleven days.
The Lieutenant Governor is preceded by the Sword-Bearer, who wears a scarlet uniform and bears the Sword of State.
All participants wear bollan bane, the Manx national flower, otherwise known as mugwort.
The path is strewn with rushes; the tradition is traceable to the Celtic custom of propitiating the sea god, Manannan, by offering bundles of rushes on Midsummer's Eve.
The main ceremonies of the day take place on Tynwald Hill, known in the Manx language as Cronk-y-Keeillown, or the Mound of the Church of John, in the village of St John's. The mound is said to include soil from all seventeen of the Isle's parishes. The mound, approximately 12 feet in height, includes four circular platforms, which are of successively decreasing size, thereby giving Tynwald Hill a somewhat conical shape.
Once the deemsters promulgate the laws, individuals may present petitions for the redress of grievances.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown dependency in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. The head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who holds the title of Lord of Mann and is represented by a Lieutenant Governor. Defence is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. It’s ranked by the World Bank as the 5th richest nation in the world by GDP per capita.
2. In 1266, the island became part of Scotland under the Treaty of Perth, after being ruled by Norway. After a period of alternating rule by the kings of Scotland and England, the island came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399. The lordship revested into the British Crown in 1765, but the island never became part of the 18th century Kingdom of Great Britain or its successors the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the present-day United Kingdom: it retained its status as an internally self-governing Crown dependency.
3. The island has been inhabited since before 6500 BC. Gaelic cultural influence began in the 5th century and the Manx language, a branch of the Gaelic languages, emerged.
4. You have probably heard of the Manx cat – the tailless one (according to legend, two Manx cats were last to board Noah’s Ark and their tails became trapped in the closing door).
5. The Island has the world’s oldest continuous parliament, known as Tynwald, which was setup by the Vikings in 979 AD. Although today’s parliament has modern offices in the capital, Douglas, each July it meets at Tynwald Hill, an ancient Viking site near St John’s, to declare each law that has been passed in the past year. Any Manx citizen can also make a petition which, providing it meets certain criteria, will then have to be considered.
6. Douglas is the capital and largest town of the Isle of Man, with a population of 27,938.
7. Hop tu Naa on the Isle of Man is a unique Halloween experience. This traditional Celtic festival is the celebration of the original New Year's Eve (Oie Houney) and, instead of pumpkins, children carry lanterns carved from turnips and sing traditional Hop tu Naa songs.
