Thousands Gather at Stonehenge to Celebrate Summer Solstice

The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
People gathered at Stonehenge and other ancient sites to witness the solstice sunrise.
The solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years and has connections to pagan and druid traditions.
The amount of daylight on the solstice depends on location, with longer days the farther north you go.
Although the solstice signifies the start of summer, the hottest weather usually comes later due to seasonal lag.
