People gazing at the sky in the north-east England and Cumbria have been treated to many different scenes this week.

From rainbows to the dazzling moon, even the Red Arrows made an appearance as tens of thousands took part in Great North Run.

As ever, you have been pointing your cameras up and out across the region.

Here are some of our favourite snaps.
