Thousands of people from across the West of England stood or sat completely still on Wednesday evening to watch a historic partial eclipse.
More than 90% of the sun was obscured by the moon – the most it has been blocked above UK skies since the total eclipse in 1999.
In areas like Weston-super-Mare, Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham and Warminster people gathered to watch the phenomenon with special glasses, alongside DIY viewers who looked through cereal boxes and colanders. One person even watched through a welding mask.
From vantage points to pub gardens and homes, here’s how you watched the once-in-a-generation solar eclipse.
