Watch LIVE: Once-in-a-generation solar eclipse over the UK

The UK is set to experience the most significant solar eclipse in nearly three decades

From 6.10pm, join us for a live broadcast of the partial solar eclipse, hosted by the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Join the Royal Observatory Greenwich live online for this special partial solar eclipse, when around 90 per cent of the sun will be covered by the moon.

The eclipse is expected to begin at around 6.15pm, with the maximum eclipse occurring at approximately 7.11pm. The eclipse is expected to end at around 8.04pm.
