Ms White told the Oxford Mail: “We follow aurora UK on Twitter and saw that there was a high chance of geomagnetic activity tonight, and they would be visible across the UK.

“We live in Wantage, so we chose chain hill as a high point and looked north. Not visible to the naked eye, but through a camera lens on a long exposure you can pick them up mainly on the horizon.”

The pictures were taken on the camera of Ms White’s mobile phone.

She explained: “We were lucky enough to see them in Iceland but being able to drive 5 minutes from our house to see them felt like an opportunity that we just could not miss. We feel very lucky to have seen them!”
