Druids and tourists mingle at Stonehenge celebration

HUNDREDS of druids, pagans and tourists braved the gloomy weather to gather at Stonehenge yesterday morning to celebrate the winter solstice.

The mystical stones attracted a crowd of 1,900 people, with some dressed in cloaks and robes, to see sunrise at the prehistoric site in Wiltshire.

The winter solstice is a pagan celebration held on the shortest day of the year.
