The northern lights were seen wide across in the UK, and a compilation video of this rare event was captured.

The stunning display of colorful lights was caused by solar winds interacting with the Earth's magnetic field, creating an incredible natural light show in the night sky.

Space weather agency forecasted a severe G5 geomagnetic storm which meant the northern lights could be seen anywhere in the UK.

People in the area who were lucky enough to witness this extraordinary event were amazed and captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the northern lights.

Sam from UK Weather Chase said: “I still can't believe what we and others around the UK have just witnessed. It's moments like this being able to showcase the beauty of mother nature in all aspects. It was great to see so many members of the public out to catch this incredible event. I for one don't think ill ever witness anything like this again in my lifetime, it's that rare.
