The Met Office has confirmed that the Northern Lights could be visible again this evening, after a stunning display across the country last night.
Best known for spectacular displays over Scandinavia, the Aurora Borealis has been seen several times in Scotland and Northumberland. However, last night's display has been described as one of the best seen in the UK and the Met Office shared photos on its Twitter account from as far south as North Wales, Cambridgeshire and Shropshire.
Unfortunately, heavy cloud cover meant that viewing was difficult in the North East, though one photographer managed to get a snap from a well-known landmark on the South Tyneside coast.

Steve Lomas was at Souter Lighthouse in the early hours of this morning. He said: "The cloud cover would have immediately put people off but with how good that display was going to be I had to make the effort.
"I was out until 1am this morning hoping for another glimpse. Hopefully there's a chance for another display tonight if it's clear!"
The Met Office posted on Twitter on Sunday afternoon: "The Aurora Borealis may be visible as far south as central England tonight where skies remain clear. The Northern Lights are also likely to be seen again on Monday night."
Last night's display was so strong due to a "coronal hole high speed stream combined with a rather fast coronal mass ejection."
When skies are clear, Northumberland is one of the best places to view the Northern Lights due to having one of the largest areas of protected dark skies in Europe and extremely low levels of light pollution.
Some of the best tips for seeing the Northern Lights from our region are stay away from light pollution, wrap up warm, keep up to date with the latest light activity (by following AuroraWatch Uk on Twitter) and check the weather forecast - your best chance of seeing the Northern Lights is in a clear sky.
The Met Office forecasts a cloudy night for Newcastle, which could make it difficult to see the Northern Lights from the North East.
