Take a flight along Southsea's new promenade lights

Lighting installed along new coastal defences around Southsea Castle has been unveiled.

The lights along the promenade of the Southsea Coastal Scheme were captured by drone as they were tested.

The area is expected to open to the public in late May.

The defences are being built along a 2.8-mile (4.5km) stretch of coast from Old Portsmouth to Eastney to protect 4,000 homes at direct risk from rising sea levels.

The Southsea Coastal Scheme, which started in September 2020, is due to be completed in 2029.
