Stargazers around the UK were treated to the vivid colours of the aurora borealis on Saturday night.

As cloud and rain on the weather front cleared southwards, parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland were perfectly placed to catch the display.

The eerie glow provided a fitting finale to spookiest night of the year, delighting skywatchers and photographers alike.

Aurora activity may continue into Sunday night, especially in northern skies, but the display is likely to be less intense than the one seen on Halloween night.

The Northern Lights might well be visible again on Sunday night but mainly in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England.

According to the Met Office Space Weather Centre, following a recent increase in solar wind activity, there is another chance of seeing the Northern Lights tonight, particularly across northern Scotland.

However, a weather front moving into the far north may bring increasing cloud, potentially obscuring views in some areas.

Where skies remain clear, the aurora could still put on a display, although activity is expected to be less intense than on Halloween night and should gradually ease from Monday onwards.
