DOLPHINS have been entertaining the tourists at the famous Needles rocks off the Isle of Wight.

Ann Malone was delighted to take these photos from aboard the Ramblin’ Rose pleasure cruise yesterday (Friday) off Alum Bay.

She was on a Needles Pleasure Cruise trip.

The boat's Peter Lemonius said: "They’re a small pod of dolphins that have been visiting the bay over the last few weeks, and seem to enjoy playing to the crowds on the boats, as you can see from the images.

"It’s always so difficult to catch that ‘one image’ you’re after, but with two dolphins in the air and The Needles in the background, it almost looks photoshopped.

"But I can vouch for the images having been on the boat myself at the time they were taken!"
