Over 20,000 early risers gathered at Stonehenge to officially welcome the astronomical summer solstice. Despite foggy conditions in some areas like Hornsea, enthusiastic crowds and beachgoers across the UK—including Roker Beach—turned out to celebrate the longest day of the year with picturesque morning swims. Occurring precisely at 09:24 BST, the solstice marks the moment the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted at its maximum tilt toward the sun, officially kicking off the summer season.
