Hundreds gathered at Almscliffe Crag last night (Wednesday) to watch one of the most spectacular solar eclipses visible from the UK in years.
The popular viewpoint near North Rigton attracted a large crowd as people made the climb to get an uninterrupted view of the evening sky.
The partial solar eclipse began in the Harrogate area at around 6.12pm, reaching its maximum at approximately 7.09pm before coming to an end shortly after 8pm.
At its peak, more than 90% of the Sun was obscured by the Moon in this part of Yorkshire, creating an impressive spectacle as the Sun appeared as a thin crescent.

The eclipse was visible across the UK, although totality was not seen here, with the path of the total eclipse instead passing through areas including Spain and Iceland.
