Northern Lights in UK: Spectacle caught on camera

The Northern Lights have put on a stunning show across parts of the UK – stealing the limelight from Bonfire Night fireworks.

Pictures and sped-up videos shared on social media show vivid shades of red, green and magenta – over places like Northumberland and Aberdeenshire.

And the aurora was seen much further south than usual due to a major geomagnetic storm, including in Kent and the Isle of Wight.
