IT’S June 21, which means it’s time for Britain Summer Solstice.

People gather at the Stonehenge monument in southern England, during the summer solstice shortly after 04:52 am, Thursday, June 21, 2012. Beating drums latter-day druids and revelers flocked to Stonehenge through heavy rain to talk, dance and meditate as they waited for sunrise, which starts the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Stonehenge, on the Salisbury Plain about 90 miles southwest of London, was built over three phases between 3,000 B.C. and 1,600 B.C. It is one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions; more than 750,000 people visit every year. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
