On Thursday night, parts of the UK were treated to a rare display of the Northern Lights. Ian Glendinning took this picture from near his home in Holystone, Northumberland.
Andy Gray, from Alnwick, Northumberland, said Bamburgh Castle was surrounded by green and red colours.
Ian Calland, from Northumberland, took this picture from a car park at the start of the causeway to Holy Island, Lindisfarne.
Ken Drew stayed up after midnight until the floodlights on St Mary's lighthouse were turned off to take this picture from Whitley Bay.
Russell Churchill from the hamlet of New York, near Coningsby, Lincolnshire, took this picture of Aurora Borealis, which was seen from the north of Scotland as far south as Jersey in the Channel Islands.
Lesley Gooding took this picture from her back garden in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, just after 22:30 GMT. The display is caused by electrically charged particles from the Sun entering the Earth's atmosphere and can usually only be seen much further north.
Nicholas Wesson sent this picture of the Northern Lights over Saltburn Pier, North Yorkshire.
Many viewers of BBC Look North's news programme sent in their pictures of the aurora into the station. This one from Jon Cooper was taken at Hardendale near Shap.
Also included in the gallery is the coastguard house at Berwick, which was taken by Taffy Freeburn.
John Lyne's picture, taken from Stockton, is one of many featured on BBC Look North - North East and Cumbria's Facebook page.
