[[Image:Location of the Channel Islands.png|thumb|right|172x301px | [[Image:Location of the Channel Islands.png|thumb|right|172x301px]]The '''Channel Islands''' (Norman: ''Îles d'la Manche'') are a group of islands off the coast of Normandy, France. They comprise two separate countries: the '''[[Guernsey|Bailiwick of Guernsey]]''' and the '''[[Jersey|States of Jersey]]'''. | ||
The Channel Islands lie scattered along the Gulf of St. Malo, their closest point to France being just 8 miles from the Cherbourg Peninsula. They are British, but do not belong to the United Kingdom. Yet in the past they were ruled by France for only 200 out of the 900 years during which they were at the centre of a tug-of-war between the two countries. They are partly in the European Union, but do not bow the knee to Her Majesty's Government in Great Britain, but loyally toast the Queen of England, as "Our Duke of Normandy".<br>Channel Islands consists of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, and Herm, Jethou, Brechou, and Lihou. All these except Jersey are in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, but the Minquiers, Ecrehous, Les Dirouilles and Les Pierres de Lecq, uninhabited group of islets are part of the Bailiwick of Jersey. | The Channel Islands lie scattered along the Gulf of St. Malo, their closest point to France being just 8 miles from the Cherbourg Peninsula.
