"Fornicating under the stars on the moors is not an essential journey".

That is the message from Tavistock Police, after stumbling upon the couple last night.

They said it "may seem like this years latest romcom" but it "certainly breaks social distancing".

The replies to their post on Twitter certainly found some amusement at their discovery:

"In this weather? Makes you proud to be British."

Another said: "Bit too cold for that ay."
