As thousands of people around the Rock looked up at Wednesday evening’s eclipse, one young entrepreneur helped make sure many of them could do so safely, selling thousands of pairs of eclipse glasses from a stall in Ocean Village.

What started as a "silly idea" turned into an extraordinary charity fundraiser, raising more than £7,500.
