A spectacular lunar eclipse saw the Moon glow burnt orange this afternoon - but no one in Britain got to see it because it was too cloudy.
A MeteoGroup forecaster has predicted adverse conditions, meaning there will be a 50 per cent chance of seeing a full eclipse from the Shetland Islands.
Between 2.06pm and 2.58pm the northernmost tip of the UK was hoping to witness the Sun, Earth and Moon falling almost exactly in line, giving the moon an orange hue.
