Photographer Gary Pearson, who watched the display from Brancaster Staithe in Norfolk on Sunday, said: "We had a fantastic showing from the northern lights last night. "The aurora was clearly visible to the naked eye, though it was the long exposure taken by the camera that picked up the extremely vivid colours."
In the heart of Teesside, County Durham, revellers witnessed a blast of green and red light at Grassholme Observatory.
