Eclipse watchers study intently from their vantage point near York Minster as the solar eclipse begins to reach its climax. Spectators watch the solar eclipse from the top of Clifford's Tower. Solar eclipse watchers Peter Parish and Emma Cotton, of the Moat House Hotel, in York, watch from the hotel's roof. Leslie Walker projects the solar eclipse on to a card at St Chad's Church in York, as William Salter, aged seven, looks on. Ada Stabler, 95, from Stamford Bridge, planned to view the solar eclipse for the second time in her long life using the 'smoked glass' method she used in 1917.
