People have witnessed the last supermoon of the year as it illuminated the sky on Thursday.

The Cold Moon was the third consecutive supermoon after October’s Harvest Moon and the Beaver Moon in November.

There had been fears cloudy skies would obscure the phenomenon, but the weather cleared in many part of the East of England leaving the skies lit up by the large full moon.

BBC Weather Watchers have been sharing their photos of the sight.
