So, that was exciting... And here in Bristol, we did pretty well compared to a lot of places in the UK. While London sat beneath a smoggy shroud of gloom this morning (doesn't it always?), and so saw absolutely none of the promised eclipse, here in the West Country we were spoilt with blue skies.
If you've managed to stop seeing weird coloured blobs every time you blink, then here are a few of the best pictures from this morning, plucked from Instagram.
