Northern Lights dazzle across South West skies

BBCParts of south-west England have been treated to a dazzling display of the Northern Lights.
The lights, or Aurora Borealis, are the result of solar eruptions sending particles towards Earth and the subsequent interaction of those particles with the Earth's atmosphere.
A coronal mass ejection (CME), a large eruption of charged matter from the Sun, left the Sun on Sunday, the Met Office said.
It said the CME was likely "to bring aurora across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and potentially further south".
Observers were treated to a full display of pink, red, and green hues as the lights shone over Devon and Cornwall at about 21:30 GMT.
