The summer solstice celebrated at Stonehenge

Revellers arrived to attend the celebration of the summer solstice at Stonehenge, near Salisbury, Britain. Thousands annually meet at the 5,000-year-old stone circle at Stonehenge to see in the sunrise of the solstice, which marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

Following an annual all-night party, thousands of New Agers and neo-pagans danced and whooped in delight at the ancient stone circle.
