by Every year thousands of people gather at Stonehenge to mark the start of the longest day of the year.
But measures in place to tackle Covid-19 mean the spiritual congregation at the Neolithic monument in Amesbury, Wiltshire will not be possible this year.
However people all over the world will be able to watch the spectacle from home, as English Heritage is live streaming the event.
Cameras at the historic site will allow people to watch both the sunset and sunset.
English Heritage said: "We can't welcome you in person this year because of the measures in place to combat coronavirus - but our live coverage of sunset and sunrise means you won't miss a moment of this special occasion.
"Our cameras will capture the best views of Stonehenge, allowing you to connect with this spiritual place from the comfort of your own home."
The charity, which manages more than 400 historic monuments, buildings and places, has warned people not to travel to Stonehenge for summer solstice, urging them to watch the live broadcast instead.
"We look forward to welcoming you in person at next year's event," it said.
What time will it take place?
English Heritage will be broadcasting the sunset on Saturday, June 20 and the sunrise on Sunday, June 21.
Sunset is at 21:26 BST (20:26 GMT) and sunrise is at 04:52 BST (03:52 GMT).
