The BBC says an estimated 37,000 people gathered to watch the sun rise on the longest day of the year at Stonehenge today. There were few arrested made during the large event which featured Druids, drug users and pagans as well as more conventional celebrants. Just why the monument is open at all was the question from some commentators. It is almost always closed for fear of the damage people cause to the prehistoric site. But the gathering went peacefully today. “We are pleased that the solstice celebrations have been enjoyable events for the majority of people attending,” said a spokesman for Wiltshire Police.
