‘There were lots of people on the beach and they were taking pictures with it, it was bigger than a basketball!
‘It's not actually the first one I've seen in Portsmouth this summer. Three or four weeks ago I was swimming quite far out towards Spitbank fort and saw a live jellyfish, though it was much smaller.’
