When taking pictures, many of our readers' pets also wanted to get involved in making memories of the night.

Sometimes photos of the Northern Lights can look 'too' good and might look like they've been edited - which Graham Leadbitter addressed in his caption.

He said: "Haydon Bridge, this photo looks edited but it has no way at all been adjusted."
