People across Norfolk should have a good chance of witnessing a partial solar eclipse this weekend. The phenomenon occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth. The three will not be completely aligned, meaning only part of the sun will be obscured.
The eclipse is expected to be visible in the UK from 9.56am to 12.14pm on Saturday.

However, the Met Office is predicting Norfolk to have "sunny intervals" at the time the eclipse is happening. Stephen Dixon, spokesman for the Met Office, said: “The northwest of Scotland, which has the best window for seeing the partial solar eclipse, is unfortunately going to see rain and cloudy skies.
“However, those further south in England on Saturday should see some break in the cloud.”.
