Crowds attend Stonehenge for summer solstice despite Covid advice
Around 100 people entered Stonehenge early Monday morning to view the summer solstice sunrise despite Covid safety concerns.
English Heritage had requested that people view the sunrise via a live stream on their social media rather than attending in person, in order to comply with current Covid restrictions. However, a crowd of people entered the stone circle early in the morning.
The live feed of the sunrise was then pulled due to safety concerns, English Heritage said.

Gareth Southgate understands the reaction of fans after England draw with Scotland
Gareth Southgate accepts any criticism for England’s frustrating Euro 2020 draw against oldest rivals Scotland but urged fans to stick with players after boos greeted the final whistle.
Having impressively beaten World Cup semi-final foes Croatia on Sunday, the Three Lions knew they would progress to the knockout phase with a game to spare by winning Friday’s auld enemy showdown.
But lacklustre England fell well short of expectations against the wounded Scots, with John Stones’ early header off the woodwork the best they could muster in a 0-0 draw at a partially filled Wembley.
