Did you see the aurora borealis last night?

Did you get a chance to see a unique light display from your window last night?

The aurora borealis, or the Northern Lights, is a natural light display of vivid colours, caused by the solar wind in the northern hemisphere of the Earth.

Residents from across the Island shared their photos on our Facebook page - you can see them here.

The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service posted these photos from Douglas Fire Station to its Facebook page:

The Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer also shared his pictures on Twitter:
