Police officers were in attendance at Stonehenge and Avebury overnight to welcome in the longest day.

Approximately 15,000 people gathered to mark the event at Stonehenge, with the majority attending to mark the occasion safely and responsibly.

Just one person was arrested – a 49-year-old man from Exeter was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a security officer. He has been released without charge.

ACC Dave Minty said: “This year’s summer solstice was a safe and successful occasion and I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended, our communities and the visitors to the site.

Thank you also to our partners, stakeholders and of course English Heritage, for working with us because collectively we have ensured that everyone could enjoy the event peacefully. And finally, thank you to our officers, staff and volunteers who worked through the night at such an incredible event.”
