A FLINTSHIRE mum and her son spotted an astonishing sight while fetching in washing from the garden.

Six-year-old Idris Blenkley pointed it out: “Look, Mummy, there's a rainbow way up in the sky”.

It wasn’t a typical rainbow: for a start, it was upside down.

It was also accompanied by a stream of wispy cloud as if hurtling through the blue sky.

Not entirely sure what it was, Idris’ mum Nicky grabbed some photos and posted them to an online weather platform, describing it as a “rainbow cloud”.

It prompted hundreds of remarks and suggestions, many marvelling at the spectacular sight.

Some people shared similar images taken the same day, all mournfully noting theirs were nowhere near as good as Nicky's.
