Moonstruck Britain stops, stares and takes to the hills and beaches

Article Abstract:

The solar eclipse on Aug 11, 1999, was a significant social experience for Britons. Most experienced more than 90%, and some viewed a total eclipse. For all those who saw it, the eclipse will prove extremely memorable. Traffic came to a halt as people tried to view the eclipse, and many people left their homes and offices. There was cloudy weather in Devon, England, and Cornwall, England, which had attracted many people seeking the best view of the eclipse, and the North-east proved to be one of the best places from which to see it.
