People across Britain and Ireland reported sightings of the aurora borealis, on Sunday night, with the light spectacle reaching as far south as Cornwall and Hertfordshire.

Northern lights are usually most visible near the Earth’s magnetic north and south poles and can occasionally be seen in night skies over Britain. The lights expected to be seen again on Monday night.

Did you see the northern lights in skies above Britain and Ireland on Sunday night? Or are you planning on trying to view them tonight, if so we’d like to see your pictures.
