Pagans, druids and travellers in lockdown will have the chance to witness the sunrise during the summer solstice from Stonehenge live online for the first time.

Thousands of people flock to the Neolithic monument in Wiltshire every year to mark the summer solstice sunrise and sunset - happening on June 21 this year.

Due to lockdown measures designed to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus, Stonehenge has been closed to visitors and the annual solstice event cancelled.

To ensure people could still enjoy the moment that marks the longest day of the year, English Heritage said they would livestream from the monument.
