Blood Moon photographed above the East Midlands

Chris Denning captured the Blood Moon above Wollaton Hall

People across the East Midlands looked to the sky on Sunday evening as the moon took on a deep red hue.

The "Blood Moon" happened due to a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon.

This blocked the sunlight to the Moon and cast a shadow across its surface, with the eclipse starting in the UK at about 18:30 BST and lasting until 19:52.

Chris Denning captured the phenomenon above the Grade I listed Elizabethan mansion, Wollaton Hall, in Nottinghamshire - and he was not the only one to reach for a camera.
