The stunning red sky over over Doseley. Picture: Lisa Giles.

Shropshire Star readers Lisa Giles and John Hughes did and sent us these stunning pictures.

Lisa made the point that her pictures at 8am on Tuesday over Doseley were "unedited" while John remarked about the "beautiful sky in Ketley".

The Met Office website explains the sayings "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight" and "Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning"

It first appears in the Bible, in the book of Matthew.
