Despite the poor weather conditions visitors headed to the famous 5,000-year-old stone circle in Wiltshire in the dark to ensure they got to see the sun rise. And they made the most of one of only four public annual events that allows people to get so close to the stones.

WHY CAN PAGANS AND DRUIDS GET SO CLOSE TO THE STONES FOR THE EQUINOX?
The famous Stonehenge circle is normally roped off to the public, but special access is granted four times a year.
This is only on the mornings of the summer solstice, winter solstice, spring equinox and autumn equinox.
English Heritage has ‘managed open access’, meaning the public can stand among the stones on these days.
Anyone can turn up on the day to get close to the stones, but people are asked not to touch or climb on them.
Organisers also have a ban on bringing glass…
