Millions across Britain stop to watch the first solar eclipse of the century as day slowly turns into night

Britain's skies began to to darken at around 8.24am this morning as the Moon started to move between us and the Sun, with the eclipse peaking at around 9.30am across the country. The Sun's light has almost been totally concealed, casting a huge shadow of the Moon across the nation that will turn day to night, but watchers must not look directly at the Sun because they risk damaging their eyes. But a covering of cloud wrecked the spectacle for much of the country, leaving millions unable to see the eclipse. Pictured above is the eclipse seen from the Eden Project in Cornwall.
