Stonehenge Celebrates Summer Solstice with Thousands of Visitors.

About 10,000 people, including Druids and pagans, gathered at Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice, marking the longest day of the year. The sun rises behind the entrance to the stone circle, and rays of light are channelled into the centre of the monument. Stonehenge's distinctive formation aligns to both the midsummer sunrise and the midwinter sunset. Many people travel from around the world to celebrate at the stones, which have been a site of solstice celebrations for thousands of years.
