Noctilucent Cloud Display - July 17th

Thanks to a very excited phone call from a good friend of mine I was alerted to an NLC display. My eyes were stunned when I walked out my back door, for a moment a literally couldn't believe my eyes.
I didn't get my camera out straight away so the display had receded quite a bit by the time I did start imaging but NLC was almost covering Vega and extending as far out as Arcturus.
I've never seen NLC from my back garden before because of an hill obstructing my view so this was really intense.

I shall say no more and let the pictures do the rest:





Leave the best to last, so they say...
