A mother's dream of seeing and photographing the spectacular northern lights has come true - from hills above Rochdale.
Leandra Rawlinson didn't even wait to get dressed, jumping in her car in her pyjamas for the 10-minute drive from her Milnrow home to Blackstone Edge where she witnessed the amazing aurora borealis for the first time.
Leandra, 35, whose two-year-old daughter is called Aurora, has previous visited Scotland to try to see the incredible natural show but missed out.
