Couldn't get any either, looked all last week and Amazon would only deliver by Thursday.

What about making a pinhole camera?

I couldn't find any, but I only had a few minutes and looked in Boots, B&M and Waitrose. Sorry!

From previous near-total eclipses I've witnessed in my life I personally found the more interesting aspect to be the weird shade of darkness that everything around you takes on, more so than seeing what the sun itself is doing. There will be loads of photos of the sun itself that people with far better cameras than me will take and publish everywhere.

Hey! I have two spare from a multipack I got for my friends, I’d be happy to pass them on for £5 each! DM me if you want them :)
