Onlookers planning to see the sunrise at Stonehenge on the summer solstice are more likely to witness the arrival of rainfall, according to the UK Met Office.

The annual gathering at the ancient stone circle in Wiltshire in the UK has been cancelled for the second year running after the Government delayed the next stage of lockdown easing.
