All parts of the UK have been witnessing a partial solar eclipse, which started at about 08:18 GMT in southern England and peaked at around 09:36
The Faroe Islands and Svalbard in the Arctic Circle were the only places to experience a total eclipse
The amount of the sun's disc which is obscured varied from 96% in northern Scotland to 83% in southern England
That just about wraps up our coverage of the solar eclipse. We hope you've enjoyed following events as the the skies went dark - and thank you for all your contributions.
Make sure you join us for the next eclipse!
Barry Guard in France emails: As I am in the South of France there was not as much here but it did go darker. I watched it on the BBC website and it brought me to tears, it was so moving! Absolutely wonderful!!
The family of a young astronomy fanatic gave about 28,000 pairs of special protective eclipse glasses to local schoolchildren in memory of their son, who died at the age of 10 in 2009. You can read their story here.

A Babylonian clay tablet (similar to the one shown below) is thought to be the earliest record of a total solar eclipse.
The tablet was uncovered in the ancient city of Ugarit - located in modern day Syria - and has two possible dates: 3 May 1375 BC, external or 5 March 1223 BC, external, the latter being favoured by most recent publications.

Adil Amin sent us his picture of the eclipse behind a tree in Royston, Hertfordshire.

While some people had a spectacular view of the eclipse, others weren't quite so lucky. Hundreds had gathered at Regent's Park, London, with their protective glasses and telescopes ready - but cloudy conditions meant they were redundant.
Student doctor Uzair Adam, 23, from Clapham, south London, said: "It's been slightly anti-climactic. I remember the last one when I was a little kid.
"I remember the sky going dark and I thought: 'Wow, this is a moment to remember in history'.
"I thought that is what it's going to be today."
Steve Braithwaite in Perth in Scotland sent us a picture of the reading from his solar panels during the eclipse.
Image source, Steve Braithwaite It's pure coincidence that we live in an age where Moon and Sun appear to be the same size from Earth; so the Moon is able to block out the Sun.
But the Moon is on the move. It's now around 18 times further away from us than when it was formed 4.5 billion years ago.
As the Moon moves away from us it will eventually be too far to completely block out the Sun. So enjoy the view while it lasts...

Image source, PASpecial solar filter glasses were one of the best ways to see the eclipse - it's what this trio wore at Stonehenge in Wiltshire.
An astronomy expert has tried to explain why the eclipse has been so special.
Dr Daniel Brown of Nottingham Trent University said: "The event illustrates why astronomy is the oldest science of them all, reaching back many millennia.
"It makes the cosmos and the universe come alive and shows how human emotions are influenced by skyscape: the sky together with the land and everything around us."
