Guernsey's Bailiff will officially open the airport terminal

Several hundred people are expected to attend the invitation-only ceremony.

Bailiff Sir de Vic Carey has been chosen to open the terminal, a job performed by his grandfather who was also Bailiff, in 1939.

Guests, including representatives from the UK travel industry, will be given a tour around the building which cost �19m to build.

Island schoolchildren will also be playing a part in the event, with a representative from each parish school raising the parish flag.
