    Sally Margerison took this photo of Beckwith Close on Harlow Hill from her loft last night, when the aurora borealis was visible in parts of Scotland and northern England.

    The Northern Lights were visible in the Harrogate district last night.

    The lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are rarely seen this far south in the UK.

    Although they weren't as bright in the Harrogate district as some places, they made a rare appearance to bring some colour to the sky.

    Sally Margerison sent us this photo she took of Beckwith Close on Harlow Hill.

    "I took it yesterday evening from my loft window when I saw on Twitter that the aurora was active in northern England."


    Ms Margerison also took this image later last night.

    Sadly tonight's forecast doesn't bode well for anyone wishing to witness the phenomenon.



    If you have any great photos of the Harrogate district, send them to us by email at contact@thestrayferret.co.uk.
