Photographers have been sharing images of the Northern Lights seen over the area last night.
The aurora borealis lit up the night sky last night with sightings across the UK, Europe and the northern hemisphere.

Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon said on Friday: “Although the shorter nights will limit the visibility window, there’s a good chance to see the aurora, particularly on Friday night and especially in Scotland, Ireland and parts of northern England and Wales.

“There could even be visibility further south if you have the right equipment.
“Those conditions could continue on Saturday night but we still have to work out some details on where exactly that will be.”
