'Hidden' unicorn is unleashed as part of Pride of Portsmouth trail - where is it?

A 'hidden' unicorn has finally been unleashed in the city as part of Pride of Portsmouth trail.

It joins the 45 lions which are placed around the city as part of the free treasure hunt-style trail. It has been organised as the centrepiece of the Portsmouth100 celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of Portsmouth being given city status.

As previously reported by The News, Portsmouth City Council has created a map for the trail showing the locations of the lions with participants able to collect rewards on an app for every lions they see. But the location of the unicorn was being kept under wraps as it was moved around the city.

This morning (July 20) it has made its first public appearance at North End Library where it will stay for the rest of the day before heading elsewhere in the city, attending many events and family-friendly places.
