Yeah, we got a good view of this from northern Cumbria last night. The bit
to the north was a bit hard to see as there were things in the way, but
there was a nice display in the western sky as well. My pix aren't as good
as yours, but here's one anyway, looking across the Solway to Scotland.

I can't persuade my partner that there's anything special about
noctilucent
clouds. He seems to think it's just the sunset lighting up ordinary
clouds.
How can I educate him? Is there a good website I can send him to?
