A record crowd of about 36,500 revellers has welcomed the dawn of the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge.
The number of people attending the event caused roads in the area to become gridlocked in the hours leading up to sunrise at 0458 BST.
Druid ceremonies took place alongside music and Morris dancing, however overcast skies obscured the sun.
Police praised the crowd and said there had been only 37 arrests, for minor disorder and drugs offences.
Supt Nick Ashley said: “The celebration has been peaceful and enjoyable for the majority who were present to celebrate in a safe manner.
“It is disappointing that a small number of people chose to ignore the conditions of entry and brought with them illegal drugs but this was dealt with effectively.”
