Cornwall was treated to a spectacular light show with the Aurora Borealis

THOUSANDS of people in Cornwall were able to tick one thing off their bucket list on Friday and Saturday night when they were treated to the magical glow of the Northern Lights.

Many people flocked to the beauty spots to watch the spectacular light show, but the powerful geometric storm was so strong that many people could also see it from their back garden.

The northern lights were less visible on Saturday night, but many people who missed them on Friday were still able to witness the phenomenon.
