UK: Summer solstice at Stonehenge

Jun 21 - Revellers meet at the mystical Stonehenge stone circle in western England to celebrate the longest day of the year.

A record number of people gathered at Stonehenge in Wiltshire to celebrate this year's summer solstice.

A crowd of more than 36,000 visited the ancient stone circle to watch the sun rise.

Overcast skies meant there was limited sunshine, but this did little to detract from the festivities, as druids, hedonists and hippies all celebrated in their own way.

The ancient ruins are a spiritual centre for Pagans who believe the summer solstice signals the marriage between the sun and the earth.
