Stunning photos show a full Hunter's supermoon glowing over London's skyline.

Amateur photographer Griff Hewis, 46, snapped the breathtaking shots on Saturday (18/10) from the highest point of Richmond Park.

The supermoon - known as 'Hunter's Moon' - was the third, and brightest, supermoon of the year.

A supermoon occurs when the Moon, which follows an elliptical (oval) orbit around Earth, is at its closest point to our planet.

If this coincides with a full Moon, we see a supermoon, making the Moon appear larger.

Griff, from New Malden, south west London, planned the shot to be from the highest vantage point possible.

The shot shows the orange-hued moon rising directly over London's iconic skyline.

He said: "I have waited quite a few years to get that shot!

"I think it turned out pretty good."
