The Summer Solstice has come to an end at sunset: 21:26 BST in Wiltshire.
Thirteen thousand people watched the sunrise at Stonehenge 16 hours and 34 minutes ago, on the longest day of the year.
Sun worshippers and Soltice celebrators had a rare chance to get up close to the monument for the annual event.
Armed police were on patrol, and extra security measures were put in place following the recent terrorist attacks in London and Manchester.
But Wiltshire Police said the event passed peacefully, with only seven "mostly drug-related" arrests.

Iron Age roundhouse build is completed
A group of veterans have completed this splendid looking Iron Age roundhouse, at Tedworth House in Wiltshire.
The Help for Heroes Recovery Centre, in Tidworth, has been running the project, which aims to help service personnel and veterans improve their physical and mental well-being.
The project began nearly two years ago and earlier today they celebrated their hard work, with what else? A themed party in fancy dress... in this heat!
We love the final result:

Southmead: IVF centre treatment to be transferred
Fertility services at Southmead Hospital in Bristol are to be transferred to a new provider, the NHS has confirmed.
The problem is not enough NHS
patients are going through its doors because local clinical
commissioning groups will now only fund one cycle of IVF: it means 60% of patients have to pay for their own treatment.
A spokesman for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCGs denied claims in the local media that the move would mean patients could be forced to travel outside the region.
He added the process of assessing bids was under way and the new provider could be in place from December.
There are around 3000 frozen eggs
and other samples that have to, by law, be stored for up to 10 years at the facility, which any new provider would also expected to safeguard.
Quote Message: The proposed location of services will be taken into account when assessing bids by prospective providers as we would not want patients to travel any further than is necessary for treatment. from Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCGs spokesman

New home for Bristol fertility centre?
Fertility services at Southmead Hospital in Bristol are to be transferred to a new provider, the NHS has confirmed.
