Across the UK, residents were treated to a stunning display of the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, visible from Scotland to as far south as Cornwall and across Wales around 9pm last night. The celestial phenomenon was captured in numerous photographs by BBC Weather Watchers and shared across various news platforms. Notable mentions include images from Old Kilpatrick reflecting Dumbarton Rock on the River Clyde, the Forest of Dean, and the Peak District's Ladybower plugholes. The display was particularly remarkable in parts of Wales, where the skies were lit up on Sunday night. This widespread visibility of the Northern Lights across the UK was unexpected, making it a spectacular surprise for many.
