    Tribute to the late Rear Admiral Sir Nigel Cecil, KBE, CB The President: Hon. Members, since our last sitting there has occurred the death of Rear Admiral Sir Nigel Cecil, KBE, CB, Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man and President of Tynwald Court from 1980 to 1985. Oswald Nigel Amherst Cecil was born in Dorking, Surrey in 1925, and after Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, entered the Royal Navy in 1939 for what was to be a distinguished 40-year career. He was NATO Commander of South East Mediterranean in 1975 and Commander of British Forces, Malta – and in fact was the last British Admiral in Malta after a presence there at the naval base of 180 years. On his retirement, he and Lady Cecil moved into Government House, and he began his five-year term as Lieutenant Governor. The early 1980s were a period of great political, economic and constitutional change for the Isle of Man. Constitutionally, the Island was on a path to more complete self-government from the United Kingdom and Sir Nigel himself, thanks to an Act of Tynwald passed in 1980, was the last Lieutenant Governor to preside over Legislative Council. He had his first and only sitting of Legislative Council in May 1980. In October that year, Jack Nivison, appointed by Council themselves, was elected President of Council. As President of this Court, there were debates on the constitutional future of the Isle of Man and political future, not least the resolution of 1983, which was to replace the existing structure of 20 Government Boards and Committees with nine Departments to be headed by a Minister, a system which finally came into operation in 1987.

  • Manx Heritage Foundation Oral History Project
    Manx Heritage Foundation Oral History Project Mr Clifford Irving talking with Mr David C Doyle 1997 Mr Doyle: Mr Irving, you were born in Peel on the 24th day of May 1914 and today we are going to try and cover the years 1914-1926 but before we get to the birth could you tell us something about your parents, please? Mr Irving: Yes, like many other young people at that period my father Willie Irving, as he was known in Peel, emigrated to South Africa with his friend George Moore, later of the Raggatt, near Peel, and Member of the Keys for Peel. My mother, a Miss Cottier, joined my father in South Africa where they were married near Kimberley. In fact I was conceived in South Africa. My parents returned to Peel where I was born in my grandfather’s house. My grandfather was Edward Cottier, the draper, and during all my life in Peel I always lived with my grandparents. My parents lived nearby and I probably spent as much time in their house as with my grandparents. It was a very happy situation and especially after my mother died when I was six years old my grandparents were still very anxious that I should stay and live in their house. I had a brother, Frank, who unfortunately died in the past few years. So, between my grandparents and my parents it was a very happy situation. We all got on very well indeed. Mr Doyle: Can you recall your earliest memories of being brought up in Peel, in the west of the Island? Mr Irving: Oh dear, oh dear.
