On Sunday evening, the aurora borealis – Northern Lights – was visible across much of the UK – or it would have been if not for the cloud cover in certain areas. Just saying. Not bitter at all.
Here are a few tweets from lucky people who saw the beautiful spectacle.
Northern Lights in County Donegal.
All my life I’ve wanted to see them. There they are outside my front door

Composer and funny tweeter Nick Harvey – note carefully the word funny – also shared a shot of the Northern Lights.

Let’s take a closer look at that.
It came as no surprise to Nick’s followers to spot a giraffe in the Crowborough landscape. He has form.

Not everyone cottoned on to the joke straight away.

And one of those people worked for GMB …
Readers …they showed it!
Thank you, @GMB. I am literally crying laughing. pic.twitter.com/SDoB725kWb

GMB might not have spotted the giraffe – but viewers did.
Hey @gmb
A picture you just a showed of the Northern Lights I SWEAR had the silhouette of a giraffe's head in the bottom. Left hand corner…..Huh?— Jo Thoenes (@JoThoenes) February 27, 2023

Who’d have thought Good Morning Britain’s weather report could have made so many people happy?
How many times can this happen?!! It gets funnier every time. Arise Sir @mrnickharvey

Lovely to see Crowborough’s tallest resident making it onto the news. About time he got some recognition. https://t.co/lbxXN4tWQq

I know this is a running joke Nick does (I think it’s funny) and I know GMB is very, very soft news (though people treat it as hard when they want) but man, this is… quite something. https://t.co/1HNvqRftTZ

There should be some sort of award for this.

From now on, this will be the golden rule for all broadcasters …
This has made my morning
The researcher forgot the golden rule……always look for a rogue giraffe…..in Crowborough https://t.co/FbIZ5YIqn0— Greg Morgan (@GregMorgan124) February 27, 2023
Including Gareth Richman of the Evening Standard.
I suspect that Gareth may have had a look through my feed this morning. pic.twitter.com/5okCP2RgND

Let’s all agree to throw a protective ring around Nick Harvey – and the Crowborough giraffes.
