  • WATCH: Phil Hornby reports on how the race to be Prime Minister came south

The race for Number 10 came to the south coast today as Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt met Conservative party members vying for their votes to become the next Prime Minister.

Mr Johnson arrived in Portsmouth at lunchtime, before a hustings event took place on the Isle of Wight.

Both contenders appeared separately, giving speeches and answering questions.

The leadership hopefuls have tonight moved onto the Bournemouth Pavilion.
