Solstice Revelers Back at Stonehenge
From Times Wire Reports
For the first time in a decade, Druids and other groups gathered within the encircling rocks of Stonehenge at dawn to celebrate the summer solstice. About 100 people, including members of six Druid groups, held ceremonies at the 5,000-year-old monument in southwest England.

Revelers were banned from holding solstice ceremonies at Stonehenge in the late 1980s after clashes with police.
