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.
