In pictures: Rugby sky-gazers enjoy once-in-a-generation eclipse
Sky-gazers came out in their droves to enjoy the once-in-a-generation eclipse yesterday evening (Wednesday August 12).
They descended in numbers on high spots to be wowed by the major partial eclipse, which darkened the skies across the UK and western Europe.
It was the most significant solar eclipse since 1999.
Brinklow photographer Gillian Taylor, of Gilly T Photograpy, said: “There was a great atmosphere in the village as eclipse enthusiasts gathered up at ‘The Tump’ to witness the partial solar eclipse .
"It was great to see so many trying out all the different safe methods to look up at the sun.”
Some residents were left feeling a little underwhelmed by the fleeting spectacle.
"I was slightly disappointed because I thought it was going to get a lot darker,” Jasmine Allen said.
"It was lovely seeing people get together and unite though.”
