September's full Moon glowed across the UK sky on Saturday and many people seemed to have perfect conditions for viewing it.

It's also known as the Harvest Moon because of its association with the time of year people traditionally gather crops.

The Moon reached its fullest point at 17:49 BST on Saturday but it was later, when the sky got darker, that it made its biggest impact.

BBC Weather Watchers have been submitting the photos they took and here are a few of our favourites of those submitted so far.
