It’s the first time I’ve ever seen them in person though, was pretty neat.
Just took this with my phone's night setting. Obviously not as vivid with the naked eye but you could still see the colours without. Doubt I'll ever see it like that again here in N. Ireland; tonight could prove me wrong though!

Got it decent from my house last night.
These aren’t doctored. I just set it for a 10 second exposure to get more light in.

Aurora app on my phone alerts me. Usually kicks around 5% to 15% chance and on the better nights it's always overcast here. Last night was 75% so I stared outside all evening.
I am in Cumbria so better chances for me but it was an extravaganza. Started with what looked like a white mist over the entire sky was really the green aurora. After a while it condensed into a strip of white and then went pink to the naked eye. From there it morphed into reds, purples and blues. I can't recall if it went green to the eye. It was like that for an hour. Looked like the Eye of Sauron directly above. Other half and I lay out in the garden under a blanket just watching it.
Night sight on your phone camera will show you the colours if your eyes can't tell.

With things like this it really is a case of being in the right place at the right time. Keep an eye out tonight, as I've been told it may return.
Should have known that a werewolf would be out taking snapshots after dark.

Quite visible here in Derbyshire, despite the light pollution (sodding council installed a streetlight right next to our garden a few years ago - then wrote a snotty letter saying one of our trees was in the way).
