Thousands of people around the world have gathered at Stonehenge in England to mark the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
Around 23,000 people, some with flowers in their hair and playing drums and accordions, showed up at the site in Wiltshire to see the sun rise on Sunday.
Thousands of people including modern-day druids flock to the site every year to celebrate the solstice, which is also the official start of summer.
The sun rises in alignment with some of the main stones at the monument and experts believe that Stonehenge was built as a prehistoric temple.
