The 58-year-old said: ‘The cloud was a perfect shape of the UK and I knew I had to act quickly before it dispersed.

‘I jumped out of the car and took a couple of pictures.

‘My mum was driving us and I saw it in the sky. I just said “quickly stop the car” as I wanted to take a picture of it.

‘I was so thrilled by it. I just looked up and it presented itself.

Ms Darke said she was so gobsmacked at the sight she forced her mother to pull the car over

‘I couldn’t believe it. I just knew it i didn’t get it then I would never see anything like that again.

‘It was lucky I was a passenger and able to spot it.’ 

But there will be too much clouds today as the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for heavy rain across southeastern England and of East Anglia o through most of Monday. 

The weather warning states: ‘There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.
