The discovery of a new comet, initially seen in the SOHO SWAN images, has been announced in the IAUC.  It is currently a southern hemisphere object, but should be visible in UK skies from mid July.  Further details are on the comet section web page at http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~jds  Once the orbit is known with greater certainty a BAA paper circular will be issued.
