The Northern Lights lit up the skies above large parts of the UK in stunning style at the weekend.

Plenty of photographers from across Helensburgh and Lomond captured some stunning snaps of the rare phenomenon.

Also known as aurora borealis, the bands of pink and green light were seen across the UK and in parts of Europe after an “extreme” geomagnetic storm caused them to be more visible, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Chris Snell, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said there were sightings “from top to tail across the country”.

Here’s a few of our favourite photos from the weekend as the spectacular show was captured by members of the Helensburgh Advertiser Camera Club.
