Sunbathing at Sandbanks during the coronavirus lockdown

People have been urged to stay away from the beaches despite the glorious bank holiday weather.
And it appeared to be going well this morning with Bournemouth beach almost deserted.

Just three hours later members of the public were pictured gathering at Sandbanks, sunbathing and going in the sea.
Police in Dorset have already handed out 377 lockdown fines and they have warned they will have no hesitation in giving out more this weekend if they catch up with those breaking the rules.
