Your photos of the double rainbow

On Friday evening locals were treated to one of the most dazzling rainbows we've seen in some time. As the rain cleared, two arcs were visible stretching across the sky.

Over the weekend, many of you sent in your photos of the rainbows from all around the region. These shots from different locations show the light touching down on a variety of local landmarks, from the Christ Church Cathedral to Fisgard Lighthouse to South Park School to a full pink plum tree.
