it wasn't as big as this one but it was quite astonishing. It was about two weeks ago and I have only just found out what it was. I never knew they existed!

WOW - that is astonishingly beautiful. Never heard of them either.

it's a halo rather than a rainbow

It was just in the sky when I was coming home on the bus last weeek. Over Gateshead/Newcastle

I could see it better with sunglasses on oddly, which is why I think not many other people saw it.

that site says "Usually only fragments are visible where there happen to be cirrus clouds. "

That must have been what I saw as it wasn't that big, but still spectacular

I think we should all look up in the sky more often

That site also says "The halo is not a rainbow and has nothing to do with fire."

lol - sorry sir!
