On the 1st August Ben Wood launched his book ‘The Island’ at the Priory
Bay Hotel with a private viewing attended by over 250 people in aid of the
Earl Mountbatten Hospice. The A3 limited edition book with a foreword by
Anthony Minghella features 52 stunning photographs of the island. Guests
enjoyed wine and canopes while viewing prints of all the photographs from
the book in a specially designed marquee. High
Sheriff Peter Grimaldi made a short speech before
introducing David Cheek the head of fundraising
at the hospice. More details about the book and
exhibition are available at
