On Wednesday 11 August 1999, The UK saw the last Solar Eclipse
of the Millennium. Other countries including France, Germany,
Middle East and India also witness the Eclipse.
Ledbury experienced about 95% totality but due to cloud, the
maximum totality could not be seen. A noticeable drop in daylight
was experienced. Here are some of the images from my camcorder.
