The night was crisp and clear on the evening of Thursday, October 11 2024- perfect viewing conditions to capture some amazing photos!
Breathtaking displays of colour were spotted all along the Yorkshire coast, with hundreds of people capturing the magical moment on their phones.
Although it is easier to spot them nowadays thanks to phone app alerts, it was the unusual vividness of the aurora that made the display so magical for those lucky enough to witness it.
