Stonehenge Summer Solstice 2019 in pictures
It was the longest day of the year
Every year, revellers and druids flock to Stonehenge in Wiltshire to celebrate the summer solstice – and this June was no different.
Thousands gathered at the prehistoric ring of standing stones, on the night of June 20th, to watch the sun rise on the longest day, June 21st.
The date marks the first official day of summer and is the time when the northern hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun.
To honour the occasion, English Heritage opens up the stones for public access, which are usually cordoned off from visitors.
Here are some of the best pictures capturing this year's special midsummer event...
