Local photographers have captured stunning images of a lightning storm illuminating the night sky across Lichfield.

Heavy rain and rumbles of thunder were accompanied by flashes of lightning across the skies of the city tonight (16th June).

Lichfield Cathedral’s artist-in-residence Peter Walker captured a series of images of the storm above the iconic three spires.

Other photographers were also capturing the scene as the night sky was illuminated by the storm.

Others captured stunning video footage of the storm:

Well this is a first. I’m going to have to agree with Mr Fabricant. Yes, absolutely stunning photos. I’m glad I wasn’t out there last night!
