The moon switched off the sun. You switched off everything else*

* Our writer borrowed that headline from one of your pictures. You're an inventive bunch!
Wow, we love our customers. We asked you for pictures of you out and about enjoying yourselves during our special Eclipse Power Down session and holy moly, did you deliver.
We know you're all desperate to hear who's won a solar system (or £12k cash!) but that's out of our hands for now. It's gone over to our independent judges and our tentacles are tingling in anticipation to find out who's won.
Thank you to EVERYONE to shared a pic! They brought us all an enormous amount of joy and if yours isn't here it doesn't mean we didn't adore it (oh, and you could definitely still win if you're not here!)
Here are some of our favourite pictures.
Small but mighty
The pics that made the Octo office say "awww!"
Octopups, assemble
Furry friends. They don't know what an eclipse is, but they sure had fun
Family values
This is what it's all about: families and friends hanging out, being silly, enjoying the eclipse and using less power
Solar flair
The creative, the fabulous and...Constantine plotting to take over the world
Constantine on tour
Our eight-armed friend had a lovely time enjoying the eclipse with all of you
