#SolarFail: The 'dramatic' solar eclipse over London that wasn't

It was set tobe a "fantastic spectacle of nature," a "breathtaking" and "dramatic" view.

But sadly, for some, it was not.

Friday's eclipse was blockedby clouds in London and other areas. Many took to Twitter to showcase the anti-climatic event with a punch of dry British humour.
