30 stunning pictures and video as Lancaster and Morecambe witnesses rare partial solar eclipse

The clouds held off just long enough for us to enjoy the partial solar eclipse across the district on Wednesday evening.

Lancaster and Morecambe residents joined millions of people across Europe and the UK who witnessed the most significant solar eclipse since 1999.

For the UK, more than 90% of the Sun was covered by the Moon, whereas in some parts of Europe, a rare total eclipse could be seen.

As the event reached its peak just after 7pm, numerous people captured it on camera and here we share some of the many we’ve been sent.

Thanks to everyone who shared their photos and videos with us.
