Northern Lights illuminate UK night sky

Britons stayed up all night to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights as a massive solar storm brought a beautiful aurora to the skies above the UK.
In rare and spectacular sightings on Friday night, the aurora was spotted across the country, from Whitley Bay in the North East to as far south as Kent and Hampshire.
The Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, were seen in Essex, Cambridgeshire, Berkshire, Suffolk, and Liverpool.

I got some amazing pictures last night at midnight from my garden. Real deep purple and green. Very happy to witness such a spectacle. A sight to behold indeed. 😍

Don't know why they wouldn't tell this in the news prior to it happening. Much more interesting than the absolute tosh that they spew.

I watched it and got photos. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it and I’m 43. My dad is in his 70s and it’s the first time he has seen it as well. It was beautiful.
