A British stag party were asked to leave Ground Zero after allegedly taking selfies with a sex doll.

The strange incident happened a couple of days before the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The men, from London, could be seen loitering with the blow-up doll at the location in in New York City and apparently told people they were part of a bachelor party.

A police officer eventually asked the group to leave the site on Friday but they had already caused offence.

‘I’m speechless. I don’t even have any words for that – that’s a disgrace,’ said Rosanne Hughes, who lost her husband in the attacks in 2001 that caused the collapse of the Twin Towers.



The 61-year-old from the New Jersey 9/11 Memorial Foundation added: ‘That is sacred ground, I lost my husband and I don’t even know what to say – it’s disgusting.’

On Friday the New York Police Department marked anniversary with a parade to honour its 23 officers who died at the World Trade Center.

The march also commemorated 99 officers who died of illnesses after participating in the rescue and recovery operation.
