The Victorian stone lion statue, which went missing ten years ago when the Lion Hotel was sold to Wetherspoon pub chain has been spotted today.

The lion statue was originally placed on top of the Lion Hotel in Skegness when it was built in 1881. But it was brought down to ground level in 1904 for safety reasons.

The old lion has been a favourite with residents of Skegness and holidaymakers for over a hundred years.
