Thousands of stargazers cast their eyes to the heavens last night for the “breathtaking” display of the Perseids meteor shower. Across the UK people turned into amateur astronomers as spotted the shooting stars that occurred as a result of the material falling from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle. Above, Telegraph reader Paul Hill took this atmospheric photo of the Perseids meteor shower over the site of the Creamfields festival outside Winchester.
