PEOPLE all over Runcorn and Widnes have been watching the solar eclipse this morning - here are some of your best pictures.
Although there was some cloud cover over Cheshire, the sky eerily dimmed and the temperature dropped.

The UK will not see a solar eclipse on this scale again until August 2026. The phenomenon happens when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth.
