The summer solstice is almost here, which means people in the northern hemisphere will soon enjoy the longest day of the year.
This year, the summer solstice, which Google is celebrating with a Doodle, takes place on Saturday 20 June, at which point the sun will reach its highest altitude.
In addition to marking the beginning of summer, the solstice also brings people out to enjoy the warm weather and celebrate the day.
For some, the arrival of the summer solstice is a time to celebrate the yearly journey through the seasons, while those who follow paganism consider the day a sacred holiday.
From gatherings at Stonehenge to bonfires and festivals, these are photos of past summer solstice celebrations.
