Ten thousand people celebrated the summer solstice at Stonehenge, Great Britain.

In that Neolithic stone circle, dancers, musicians and celebrants watched the sun rise flickering on the horizon.

The sun first appeared behind the Hill stone, which marks the precise spot on the horizon where the sun rises only once a year, on the summer solstice.

The sun's rays slowly illuminated the entire stone circle, marking the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

Police estimate that 10.000 people attended.

There were four arrests at Stonehenge and another at the nearby ancient monument in Avebury.

Stonehenge, an official UNESCO World Heritage Site, is believed to be 4.500 years old. He is known for his unusually precise markings of the movement of the Sun.
