Police have described a group photo on part of the TT course as "unacceptable".

Authorities took to social media today after a gaggle of people were seen taking a photo near the Waterworks at around 10am this morning.

Officers say although bikes weren't out at the time - vehicles, Marshalls, Course inspections or Police themselves could have been out and about.

They say getting a photo on the highway could lead to serious injuries or even death.

They've reiterated those found on closed roads will be arrested and appear in court.
