In pictures: Saturday's partial solar eclipse

A partial eclipse of the Sun took place on Saturday morning.

Pictures from across the world - from the UK to Spain, from Greenland to Senegal - show the progress of the Moon as it moved between the Earth and the Sun.

Depending where you are, the partial eclipse looked as if the Moon was taking a nibble or a gigantic bite out of the Sun.
