The rare phenomenon, which was visible across the UK and Ireland, started 6.18pm and reached its peak at 7.14pm, ending at 8.07pm.
Anyone who planned to watch the eclipse was advised to not look directly at the Sun and to only use specially designed solar viewing glasses, homemade pinhole camera’s or even use a colander.
In Burgess Hill, the community got creative and witnessed the eclipse in many ways.
