Thousands of people from across the West of England stood or sat completely still on Wednesday evening to watch a historic partial eclipse.

More than 90% of the sun was obscured by the moon - the most it has been blocked above UK skies since the total eclipse in 1999.

In areas like Weston-super-Mare, Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham and Warminster people gathered to watch the phenomenon with special glasses, alongside DIY viewers who looked through cereal boxes and colanders.

From vantage points to pub gardens and homes, here's how you all reacted.
