People across the East Midlands looked to the sky on Sunday evening as the moon took on a deep red hue.

The “Blood Moon” happened due to a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon.

This blocked the sunlight to the Moon and cast a shadow across its surface, with the eclipse starting in the UK at about 18:30 BST and lasting until 19:52.

Chris Denning captured the phenomenon above the Grade I listed Elizabethan mansion, Wollaton Hall, in Nottinghamshire – and he was not the only one to reach for a camera.
