The Northern Lights were on show again across most of the UK last night even spreading as far south as Italy.

The Aurora Borealis, which is usually only visible near the Arctic Circle, could be seen over the country last night, and extended as far south as northern Italy.

It was a result of ‘severe geomagnetic storms’ which are expected to decline today.
