Saw these from Chelmsford too between 0130-0200 UTC (June 8/9) up to around 10deg from NW to NE. My first NLC of the season although this was the first clear night for a while.

Can add Salisbury to the list.

At 02:10 I spotted a weak patch similar to the image above at azimuth 5 or so and a more substantial and brighter area about 40-50degs azimuth. Both below 10 degrees altitude and seen despite the Moon.

Should have taken pics but was going up the stairs bed when I spotted it and too knackered.
