Lunar eclipses aren't rare; you'll see them every other year or so, on average. Looks like the most recent total lunar eclipse visible from England was February 21, 2008.
Yes, a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon. This phenomenon happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. This alignment creates the conditions for a partial or total lunar eclipse.
At maximum, it can take several hours, but the timing depends on the alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon. If the Moon is near "perigee", when it is closest to the Earth, the eclipse will take longer; when the Moon is farther away, at "apogee", then the eclipse is shorter. The NASA Eclipse Web Site has complete details on all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD.

During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the Earth's shadow causing the moon to darken and take on a reddish tinge. A total lunar eclipse can last up to two hours.

There are generally two lunar eclipses each year. Of those, about half are partial or penumbral, and a lunar eclipse is visible from about one-half of the world. So wherever you live, you can expect to experience one total lunar eclipse about every other year. Depending on the precise alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth, a lunar eclipse can take anywhere from a few minutes (for a partial eclipse) to three or four hours, from beginning to end.

Yes. A lunar eclipse can only take place at Full Moon. The Full Moon rises at sunset, and sets at sunrise. So the sun must be down during the lunar eclipse.
A New moon
It would still be a lunar eclipse just on the moon and everything would be red. If you are on earth and a Lunar or a Solar eclipse happens than you are actually light than you would be regularly. To find out how much you weigh you take your weight and divide it by 1.5. So a lunar eclipse is just the same a lunar eclipse.

About once per year.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes directly between the sun and the moon. The shadow of the Earth falls on the moon. The sunlight is blocked out by the VB Earth. It is only blocked out for a very short time. Lunar eclipse too can be partial or total A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the Earth. The moon is opaque, and blocks out the light of the sun.
