It’s supposed to be a perfect night to see them in the U.K. the combination of the solar flare and the clear sky means they’re potentially visible from anywhere in the U.K. Just wondering if I’m the only one staring out the window hoping to see something!

Just taken the kids out to see them over Nottingham! I used to live north of Aberdeen and never saw them once, and now here they are. Glorious.

Too much light here I think but they are there.

A tip for those with iPhones, when in camera swipe up and hit little moon type icon then swipe to the highest (can’t remember if left or right).

Omg these photos!!! 😍 My partners out now trying to see if he can find a good place too see it, but unfortunately we live in a heavily lit area so he probably won't 😞 so jealous of everyone that's got to see it!
