Colourful aurora borealis surprises Isle of Wight residents on Friday night

On Friday night residents on the Isle of Wight witnessed a sight rarely seen.

The night sky was filled with colour as the aurora borealis put on a spectacular show.

Typically, it was the one night I decided to got to bed early. However, I woke up to find social media awash with stunningly beautiful photographs.
