Four people were arrested at Stonehenge last night as more than 10,000 gathered to mark the summer solstice.

One further arrest was made at Avebury, but overall the event passed peacefully.

Superintendent Dave Minty said: “We were pleased with how summer solstice went once again this year.

"It passed peacefully with just one arrest at Avebury and four at Stonehenge, including one person on suspicion of drink driving.

“Overnight, we deployed a force drone at Stonehenge several times to help keep an eye on the estimated 10,000 strong crowd.

“We got some really good footage and by using a live feed to the control room it made it easier for us to place officers and security officers around the site where they may be needed."
