It was about 95% in Belfast too.

In spite of cloudy forecast we had clear patches almost all the way up to max coverage. I took a mediocre pic holding iPhone up to some eclipse glasses, but then like furby some light cloud danced in and allowed for viewing naked eye through the haze.

I'll see if I can upload some pics taken with iPhone through eclipse viewing glasses around 50% (a bit improvised), and through cloud near 95% (similar to furby's).

It did get noticeably cooler, if not darker. We watched it from the carapark of the Zoo with folks from our local Astronomy society, and were curious if any of the animals were a wee bit freaked out (birds apparently go quiet assuming it's night). 🌙

Couldn't tell if the primates stopped flinging poo and started plotting an uprising though. :/

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.
