One of the things visitors to the island say when staying over is how beautiful the sunrises and sunsets are.

They're right, the oranges, pinks and reds filling the skies of the island early in the morning and into the evening can be breathtaking.

As a small community, when something particularly spectacular happens calls of 'did you see that' spread very quickly.

That's something that happened this morning when a red rainbow stretched across the West in a nearly full semi-circle.

Mark le Cornu of the Jersey Met Office said it was spectacular.

"Because the sun was at its very lowest angle it threw up a complete and very spectacular rainbow.

"A complete semi-circle, I don't think I have ever seen one that was quite so high, a really spectacular sight."

On Twitter @Foxxy64 asked: "any jersey peeps see that gorgeous rainbow early this morning? (to the west)."
