I'm South East, but it's on my bucket list to see it in real life 🤞🏽.

I’m so glad I checked Mumsnet before bed - I would totally have missed this. Taken in Derbyshire.

Cumbria - I'm in awe. We tried to go to Iceland to catch them and didn't sadly so this was just amazing to see tonight!

Is anyone in the south of England actually seeing anything with the naked eye? I am in a city so lots of light pollution and see nothing with the naked eye. Took a couple of pics pointing north and the sky looks a bit pink which is assume is the aurora? I'm feeling a bit disappointed to only possibly see it on a photo and not in real life.

Thank you for informing me about this because I didn’t know.
We’re away in a lodge in very dark Shropshire and just went outside and saw the most beautiful pink and green sky that looks like lazer beams.
I’m so happy 😀.

It hasn’t photographed well though.

Thank you for all these beautiful pics, absolutely incredible! Can see it even with all the light pollution in North London. But only through the camera.
