At a time when exorbitant ticket prices are the subject of much debate, credit to @rickygervais for keeping his prices sensible and affordable. If only others would follow his example.

The warning about cladding fires should have been heeded after Summerland, 51 years ago.

FBU warned about risk from cladding fires 17 years before #Grenfell. We raised issues re ‘Stay Put’ from 2007 after a fatal fire in Stevenage. All warnings ignored by those responsible. Firefighters then placed in impossible position at subsequent incidents. The basic problem is…

@JoshuaStokesITV @victoriagITV @ITVNewsGamal Thank you for keeping the Summerland disaster in the public eye. Those poor victims must never be forgotten.

Was Summerland a safe building? John said: "If the staff had been better trained, it was a reasonably safe building" John believes the lack of staff training in Summerland was one of the main causes of the fire.

Tonight on @GranadaReports… We chat to fire researcher John Webb - he went into Summerland just days after the disaster to work out why it spread so quickly. He questioned the ‘misadventure’ verdict, but doesn’t view the fire as an ‘injustice’. More at 6:00pm on ITV1.

The point is if the architect of grenfell tower knew the history of summer land then grenfell might not have happened.

"It was unusual to me that both services historically have been held at the same time" Mayor of Douglas, Natalie Byron-Teare has moved the council's Summerland service at the memorial to a different time, so not to clash with the service on the Summerland site.

So wrong @iomcm @alfredcannan so wrong he be there. He should be there by law. He is representative of the island and with fire being not just a local tragedy where locals died from. island there was also people from off island so he should be there as representative of island

Thoughts with the #Summerland families, community & blue light services Summerland was one of the key cases during our #firedynamics course - was it “predicable & preventable” was drummed into us. We cannot fail to learn from the mistakes from the past & strive to better…

Today is the 51st anniversary of the fire at the Summerland Leisure Complex and tragically resulted in 50 people losing their lives with a further 80 people sustaining serious injury. This tragedy was avoidable: We remember all those affected by this tragedy

The mayor of Douglas Council the only official to attend the on site event. Shame on @iomcm @iompolice No chief minister or chief constable at either event. 50 years not enough notice?

A tale of two services. 18:45 - survivors and officials gathered at the Summerland memorial. 19:00 - members of @thesummerland50 campaign gathered on the Summerland site. Divided by choice, but united in grief, as the Isle of Man marked the 51st anniversary of Summerland.
