Skygazers across the region have been treated to a stunning show of the Northern Lights - with many people capturing some amazing photos.  

The images taken on Thursday night show the pink, green and purple colours painting the night sky. 

The sun has now entered its period of greatest activity, which means Norfolk and Waveney could be seeing more colourful displays of the aurora borealis until the middle of next year. 

While the lights are usually not visible to the naked eye, there is a chance of seeing a pink hue without a camera lens.  

Here are some photos from our readers of the spectacle on Thursday.
