Spectacular display of Northern Lights over Harrogate

Harrogate's skies were transformed into a dazzling display of colour last night due to the Northern Lights.
The Met Office said yesterday the arrival of fast solar winds could mean the aurora borealis would be visible in Scotland and possibly northern England.
Sally Margerison, a keen observer of the astral phenomenon, was once again on hand to capture it beautifully from her house in Harlow Hill.
Ms Margerison follows the Aurora Alerts twitter site, which predicts the lights could be seen again tonight over the Harrogate district. She said:
"If the aurora ovation is KP 5 or above it’s likely to be visible in northern England.
"The KP was 6 last night so I am lucky to have a good view of the northern horizon from my loft window and can easily see it if there’s clear skies.
"It’s predicted to be a high KP tonight as well."
