She said: "I went and opened the blinds in the office this morning. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the sky was purple."

Oxford's colleges were also bathed in the strange glow. Here's St Cross College, as taken by The College Chef and shared on Twitter.
And Blackbird Leys took on a new hue as people headed out to work this morning.
