If you feel like today is dragging on a little longer than normal — it’s not just you.
Today is the Summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, with approximately 17 hours of daylight.
In the UK, the Solstice is widely celebrated as thousands gather at Stonehenge.
Noone really knows why Stonehenge was built some 5000 years ago, but it may have been to mark the solstices, as today is the only day the sun will reach far enough to touch the centre Alter Stone.
This year is a special event, as the Solstice coincides with the full moon of June, also known as the Strawberry Moon, which kicks off the strawberry season. The two events coincide only once every 70 years.
And no, the moon will not be red or pink.
