What time is the eclipse today in U.K.?

How to watch partial eclipse today?
Protective eclipse glasses are essential to safely view the event.
Even during a partial solar eclipse, it's never recommended to expose your eyes to the sun, as it may lead to retinal burns (solar retinopathy).
To get a mesmerising glimpse of nature’s grandeur, gazers must use eclipse glasses to avoid any damage to their eyes.
However, if you don’t have access to them, create a simple pinhole camera with just two sheets of cardboard for safe viewing.
