Thousands of Londoners took to the streets to watch the biggest solar eclipse since 1999 on Wednesday.
The eclipse saw 90 per cent of the Sun covered by the Moon and peaked just after 7pm.
Many watched the solar event from their homes, but huge crowds took to the capital’s parks, including many at Greenwich Park and the Royal Observatory.
Large numbers queued for special glasses to watch the eclipse safely, while others made use of home-made alternatives including colanders and cereal boxes.
Much of London was shrouded in darkness at the height of the eclipse.
The eclipse was the fullest of its kind seen in UK skies since the total eclipse in 1999.
Here are the best pictures from Wednesday’s once-in-a-generation eclipse in London.
