The annual Fishermen’s Mass takes place on the second sunday of July each year. Over 1000 people took part in 2008, but nobody counted the number of magnificently decorated fishing boats! Part of the Mass was filmed for a ITV programme on islands to be shown in 2009.

Does your face, or the face of anyone you know, appear in this picture from a Fishermen's Mass in the past? We've got the clergy! Let us know....
