People queue to buy eclipse glasses in Old Spitalfields Market, London, on 14 August 2026. Hundreds wait in line in Shoreditch for a last-minute pair of eclipse glasses ahead of the partial solar eclipse across the UK and Europe at 7pm. While parts of Iceland and Spain will experience a rare total eclipse, those in the UK will see the country's most significant eclipse since 1999. The next full solar eclipse in the UK will be in 2090.
