I didn't manage to see the lights at all.
My cousin was at Burbo Bank on Friday night. He didn't know about the lights but said there were big queues to get into the car. He tried to get in by Crosby baths as well, but it was heaving there too. When I told him about the lights he stuck around but didn't see anything. I was staying in north Liverpool myself on Friday night, but saw nothing.
My cousin's daughter stepped out of her house in Ainsdale and looked up too see a fantastic display. She took some nice photos with her phone. Last night we went to a show in town and had a look for the lights after midnight, but nothing. I'm not sure I'll ever see the damn things. We even went to Iceland* to see them a few years ago... and it was cloudy right through our stay.
