The Northern Lights were visible in the midlands on Friday last and many of our readers captured some stunning images.
The aurora borealis appeared in many parts of the country and stargazers reported seeing the phenomenon, which has been accentuated by a “rare” solar storm.
Thank you to the readers who shared these photos with us.
