In a report on page 8 of the YEP today (March 20 2015) it states "A near-total eclipse of the sun is set to thrill or disappoint millions tomorrow, depending on luck and the fickle British weather...".

PS. I don't know if 'sun' is the correct usage here but I thought it should be 'Sun' in the context it is being used.

PPS. That's a good photo of the event cnosni to add to those taken by buffaloskinner and Brunel. :)
To be fair when the copy was written it probably was still "tomorrow". Alternatively it may have been submitted on Wednesday for inclusion on Thursday and an editor decided to spike it for 24 hours due to lack of space :evil:
The BBC would seem to agree with you on this one tyke bhoy.
