People will be able to watch a total lunar eclipse and blood moon in the county overnight and early on Monday morning.

The phenomenon will be visible all over the UK.

The moon will start to enter the earth's shadow just after 2.30am and the maximum eclipse will happen just before 5.15am.

The entire eclipse will last more than five hours and will end at 7.48am.

Experts say the optimal viewing time will be between 4.41am and 5.43am and that this is the period of totality, where the moon lies entirely in the earth's umbra (full shadow) and will appear red, when it is called a blood moon.

However, it is forecast as cloudy overnight on Sunday and Monday with frost possible, so the view of the lunar eclipse could be obscured by the clouds at some points during the night.
