Stonehenge Summer Solstice Draws Thousands of Visitors.

Around 8,000 people, including druids, pagans, hippies, and tourists, gathered at Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice, the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere. The sun rose behind the Heel Stone, and the first rays shone into the heart of Stonehenge, a World Heritage Site. The event was peaceful and safe, with only two arrests made. English Heritage reported that approximately 154,000 people tuned in from around the world to watch the sunset and sunrise on the charity’s livestream. Stonehenge remains a symbol of British culture and history and continues to captivate and bring people together to celebrate the seasons.
