Snap! (If you'll pardon the pun) Exactly the same as me except I was shivering outside propped up on a bin and a box - and it shows! :D

Heres an uncropped shot just to show how far I was from getting them to fill the frame.
Just flicked through all the shots, reckon I have about 20 usable ones, a lot are the same though just taken a few mins apart, trouble was I was keeping the ISO low for detail but ended up with exposures over 10sec, because the moon is moving they aren't sharp, I upped the ISO a bit then but there a bit too grainy for my liking.

I think the path took it over northern France, but what happened up here in Lancashire?

Remember it well, we went up Pendle hill, it was jam packed.
Most people had pieces of card with holes in and were reflecting the image on a piece of paper 9supposed to be the safest way of viewing it) but I had some glasses out of electric welders goggles, got a belting view through them, people were queuing up to borrow them for a look, should have charged them :D
