Stonehenge summer solstice: Thousands gather to cheer sunrise
Thousands of people cheered sunrise at Stonehenge on Summer Solstice .
About 10,000 people gathered at the Neolithic monument to greet the start of the longest day of the year, according to Wiltshire Police.
Kate Logan , from English Heritage , said: "There was a lovely, friendly atmosphere, The Sun shone and The Dawn was greeted with loud cheers. "

Glastonbury Tor in Somerset and the Avebury Stone Circle in Wiltshire also attracted crowds.

On the Summer Solstice , The Sun rises behind the Heel Stone, the ancient entrance to the Stone Circle , and rays of sunlight are channelled into the centre of The Monument .
Those who observed The Spectacle at the neolithic Wiltshire monument encountered a chilly morning accompanied by Clear Skies as The Sun glinted over the horizon.
Ms Logan said it was "one of the highlights of the year" at the ancient site.
