Some people, who stayed up late last night, were treated to a view of the Northern Lights in Cornwall last night.

The colourful light display is rarely seen as far south at the Duchy, but it's the second time in recent weeks they've made an appearance.

The Aurora Borealis are usually seen within the Arctic Circle, but last night, they were spotted in places like Cornwall and North Wales.

People around Cornwall shared their images of the Northern Lights online, showing them spotted in Sithians, Portreath Beach and Penzance.

The lights were last spotted in Cornwall just over a month ago.
