A perfect rainbow over the town on Friday evening had snappers racing for their cameras and mobile phones to catch it before it faded away.

Among them were members of our Basingstoke Camera Club who turned in some stunning images as you can see.

Mike Alamar, Mike Halls, Jodie McAulay and Darren Burton captured the perfect snaps of the rainbow, while Ian Walllis, Jack Lees and Kelly Burford shared different angles of the magic.
