A final decision on whether the 2021 NatWest International Island Games will go-ahead as planned in Guernsey will be taken at the end of September.

The organisers of Guernsey 2021 say they remain hopeful the Games will go ahead, despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The team behind Guernsey 2021 marked 500 days to go with a call for islanders to sign up to help make the Games happen.

NatWest has extended its long-standing relationship with the International Island Games Association to the 2021 event in Guernsey.

Guernsey's athletics track will be replaced if funding is agreed to renovate Footes Lane ahead of the Games.

The official logo for the 2021 Island Games has been unveiled by the Guernsey Games Organising Committee.
