I must point out that the tail in the diagram in the first post is not an indication of what it'll actually look like in the sky..
Having done a little more digging, apparently reports from all around the world indicate that people are finding it very difficult if not impossible to see this comet without visual aid.

I found it, was just about to give up when I spotted the moon through the binos, so I kept scouting and found it,
not vivible to naked eye, for me anyway, but very visible through binos, very clear even against a bright sky, I could see the core and tail very clearly, I did try to get a picture but the sky was just to bright, I felt this would be the case, but I had to try, hopefully the weather stays clear for the next few evenings.
