The traditional TT firework display is expected to take place tonight in Douglas.

Police and TT organisers confirmed yesterday the occasion had been brought forward by one day and it'll get underway in Douglas Bay at around 11pm.

Officers added it's taking place 24 hours earlier because of poor weather expected to hit the Islands capital at the same time on Friday.

The popular display will see the pyrotechnics launched from a barge out in Douglas Bay with many expected to spectate from Douglas Promenade.
