Thousands gathered at Stonehenge on Sunday to celebrate the winter solstice as the sun rose over the prehistoric stone circle, with many dressed as druids and pagans. The ancient monument, erected between 5,000 and 3,500 years ago, aligns with the sun’s movements, making the solstice a significant date. Approximately 8,500 people attended the celebration on Salisbury Plain, while over 242,000 viewers watched the livestream, with the winter solstice marking the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
