Weather expert Dan Holley posted on social media to inform people in Norfolk the Aurora Borealis may be visible in the north of the county. 

The spectacular sight has been spotted several times in 2023.

The Northern Lights are typically seen nearer to the Arctic Circle in locations such as Norway and Iceland.

They are caused by particles from the sun entering the Earth's atmosphere at high speed.
