Many of our readers were left disappointed when the region's cloudy skies robbed their chance to see the eclipse. But for some lucky people, their patience and determination paid off - in the form of the following stunning photographs that you're about to see.
If you'd like to see your eclipse photos in our gallery, send them (and the location of where you took them) over to sophia.france@archant.co.uk
