A lightning storm off the coast has been delighting spectators in Brighton and Hove tonight.
The storm started at about 8pm, and as there was no accompanying rain over the land, many people assumed it was fireworks.
But those who ventured down to the coast saw that it was in fact an electrical storm, lighting up the skies to spectacular effect.
The storm is moving eastwards along the channel, and witnesses say it is concentrated in just one cloud. You can track its progress here.
