The Northern Lights put on a spectacular display in cloudless Manx skies last night.

They could be seen from parts of the island from about 9pm to midnight.

Dave Corkish took this picture and video of the Aurora Borealis from Peel Promenade.

He said: 'They were taken from Peel prom by the Bowling green. They appeared about 9pm and went on until about midnight. They were visible to the eye this time.

'There was what is called air glow, reflections of the town lights on the cloud and it started to appear above them.

'It was a long wait.We’ve not had anything for months due to the cloud cover, but it all came together last night.’
