Yes, ours was a bit more orange than that, cleared after a time.

It was really weird seeing a red sun today

[Old_Geezer]

The sun's turning into a red giant :-(
The end of the world is nigh.

Not just Sheffield it was the same here in Hert's.

[Buenchico]

. . and, indeed, here in Suffolk.

(I only used the link to Sheffield's local rag because I happened to have been reading it a few minutes before Dave posted. I used to live in that fine city and I still check the local news there daily).

I think it was everywhere in the UK. I've seen local paper reports from Bristol and Brighton to up North.

It's a portent of doom, I tells ya! Strange things are happening...

[tonyav]

I know, Yilly. We all headed off to the canteen to write our last will and testaments ;-)

No, we don't!

It's gone really dark here. We've had to put the lights on. :-(

[Chipchopper]

I saw it too, it was surreal. the light seemed amber but other people didn't seem to notice.
