- Tens of thousands of people gather at Stonehenge, the renowned prehistoric UNESCO world heritage site in southwest England, to celebrate the northern hemisphere's summer solstice at dawn on 21 June 2024. The Neolithic monument, which is thought to have been erected around 2,500 BC, aligns with the rising sun on the morning of the summer solstice, which has drawn revellers to celebrate since prehistoric times.

Just stop oil should marked as a threat to society and on the list of banned groups.
It would be better if you dont even mention them. Stp giving them publicity. Then they will stop
So the damage to the environment by the burning of fossil fuels is irrelevant is it?
@@michaelsrowland They may stop, but the burning of fossil fuels will continue. Happy about that?
Catastrophic climate change relating to carbon emissions is inevitable, the stones weren’t permanently damaged, Just Stop Oil’s aims and objectives are on the right side of history, the fossil fuel industry isn’t.
@@davidcolley7714uk needs more fossil fuels which are harmless to environment
Amazing place to walk in the path of ancients
Ancient pagan bullshit, yes.
Aye true, I need to really head down there sometime, beautiful place.
@@arunphillips6977 What’s wrong with it being pagan?.
I have never been to this magical place but my birthday is 21st June and am proud of it.
Fantastic place, done the Summer and Winter Solstice's at Stonehenge, but one of the best places I went to to celebrate my Pagan roots was on top of Pen Y Fan (Tallest Mountain in South Wales) when around an ancient Bronze age cairn on the summit, dozens of people started to chant as the Sun rose across the countryside below, I'm not religious or even spiritual but that was a mind blowing experience. Main stream religions may have taken a foothold in the UK (It's declining now) but it was so good to see, especially the further West from London you go, that there are still people who hang onto those ancient beliefs.
Forgive my ignorance what is a pagan
@@loosesurfer In simple terms it's Pretty much anyone who doesn't follow any of the main religions, they're normally spiritual people and hold things like nature sacred.
@@David-bw7is thank-you I didn't realise I mat actually be pagan how am I not aware of this 😅 thanks for sharing
Essentially those who worship the devil knowingly or unknowingly @@loosesurfer
@@David-bw7is so is that all that's to it.
Just stop oil have gone to far. While I can’t be at the summer solstice I am with you . Enjoy. ❤
didnt someone vandalize the stones wuth yellow paint?
barely, the paint washes with rain anwyay
No. With coloured corn flour. It just washed off. Meanwhile the media, big oil and the far right trolls continue to soil themselves.
@@3jkit's the idea it even happened,not the shoulder shrug attitude that the ingredients were washable
I went to Stonehenge a couple of years ago they only had the lintels up, doesn't look like any more work has been done since, is it a problem with planning permission, or a problem getting bricklayers at this rate it will be another 2500 years before it is finished.
Thanks Mr Murray for your tireless effort in fighting for the truth ❤️🤍💙
I hope that idiot with the paint has been arrested for criminal damage
haven't they replaced all of them or something so what's the point if their new
No they haven't ?
No. They are ancient stones.
😂😂😂🤦
Go back to Sleep...
🤷
I bet there was well polished lentils that night..
🤣
Would love to see JustStopOil turn up at this time!😂
Good to know it’s an important Neolithic site.
The good news is that the UN and the British state don’t feel the need to “preserve” the other, often older and more untouched henges around Britain. Often far more intricate and ornate, covering a greater expanse, people are permitted to interact in a far more tactile manner, closer to, with access across often private land to delight in native contemplation.
The people here seem to need to stake a claim to this place. And are permitted on one day a year (perhaps the other solstices are gathered for) to attend a place that belongs to us all. Normally paying £35- to walk a mile to observe from a distance. For free?
I am reminded of the deliberate termination of the Summer festival at Stonehenge, forty years ago. As a young man I savoured the unique freedom of British existence gathering to celebrate summer. A more free, yet lacking of intimidation experience is difficult to imagine. People did as they wished without harming others. People got naked, if they so chose. They selected whatever intoxicants they wished, although opiates were NOT tolerated. An understanding the majority concurred with. People could attend and listen at up to five different stages to people’s music, or they could jam by themselves at first, to find a hundred strangers gathering to play their music together. And people could lean, sit, or wander through the stones.
In those days, people celebrated the DAWN of the Solstice, with the gradual increase in atmosphere and expectation through the night. The climax was of course the sunrise. Hawkwind playing to welcome the sun standing ON the stones. And NO HARM was done.
This SHADOW of a celebration is a symptom of the fall of Britain to corporate government. Like the pathetic pale imitation of Caribbean carnival exhibited at Notting Hill, people are permitted to gather in daylight hours, mill around DESPERATE for meaning in their “celebration”, and get moved on. Nothing to see here, is the message “our” state apparatchiks coerce.
And we are shown how wonderful it all is by corporate media, bearing witness not to anything of value, but to our imprisonment. A lone woman giving “legitimacy” trying to describe a communal gathering is just sad.
Let’s hope we will be permitted access by “the custodian of the stones” in future.
It was raised before 2500bc
These are built on way-lines of positive energy.
It's ley lines btw. The ground beneath has flows of water that sensitive people can pick up the vibrations of underground water flow. In rural Ireland, a douser is used before any building project to find out if there is too much vibrations that may interfere with the stability of any structure built. There is nothing woo, woo about it, although alot of people think there is.
@@outoforbit00 - There's no such thing as a ley line.
@@FrostekFerenczy it's a word for underground water flows that dousers use as I have literally explained in my previous comment.
Just stop oil better start counting their days
Every year some break in and leave rubbish like beer cans everywhere. They try to prevent but can't search through the whole night
Hello all cosmic eternal peoples, the recent midsummers eve/day Stonehenge free festival gathering 2024, was a cosmicly amazing successful event , I was there and pleased to see all the free natural eternal peoples of the infinite wild natural eternal cosmos enjoying themselves, there WILL DEFINATELY soon be the return of the Stonehenge free festivals FOR ETERNITY , REGULARLY, and ALL other free festivals also FOR ETERNITY , the IMPORTANT thing is, the more the natural wilderness returns back to the northern side/edge of Stonehenge (where the small "barrow hills" and traditional pyramid stage/ main festival site area is), i.e. the tarmac, roads, fences, artificial things e.t.c. being taken up, and the natural mud, turf and other plants growing back,, the sooner the better, and the Stonehenge free festivals Will DEFINATELY return even MORE sooner
it is PRIMARILY NECESSARY for the northern plains tundra/fields ( i.e. where the main free festival, pyramid stage , small" barrow hills" usually is) to become completely natural wilderness again , there will still be a route to the south of Stonehenge for traffic travelling east to west/ west to east, and yet that route will eventually have the tarmac removed e.t.c. also , and then just become a flat dry smooth natural mud route that vehicles can STILL use 100% safely o.k. at the same speeds as before, (that southern only (east to west/west to east) road re-naturalisation (eventually back to a vehicle safe flat dry mud road) is in the more distant future, but to the sides and northern edges all around Stonehenge ,re-naturalisation back to completely natural tundra is VERY DEFINATELY IMMINENT and IMPORTANTLY it is better NOT to actually scorch/burn the actual turf/grass soils e.t,c. in any way , we are elf minimalist-tech eco-friendly(primarily) peoples, Stonehenge is here for ETERNITY , and so are we ALL, and so is all our eco friendly cosmic eternal music equipment e.t.c. any planes, helicopters, U.F.O. , other craft e.t.c. e.t.c. in the sky and space is ONLY Soviet Union Russian, so rest assured EVERYTHING is o.k. and 100% ECOFRIENDLY, see you soon and a DEFINIATE eco friendly free festival ETERNITY ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED
It looks like an amazing experience. And as for those Stop Oil people, while I totally agree with the need to wake people up to the evils of Big Oil and the need for people to recognize and do something about climate change, this kind of vandalism is not the way. I find it annoying, destructive and counter-productive.
There's the evil of big echo and the trillion dollar renewable grifters ask the millionaire Greta.
There's no such thing as climate change 🙄
I can put into one word this experience - paganism.
Stone Henge was rebuilt in 1958, prior to that the stones lay flat in the feild, the present structure is just someone's idea of how they MIGHT have looked.
three stones were re erected after they fell 161 years earlier. it wasn't rebuilt
Hilarious considering I’ve got photos of my grandparents there in 1955 😂
Has anyone complained about the lack of diversity even though all sorts of people were there just not enough of what some wanted?
Damn shame it was altered and rebuilt in the 1900's by so called archeologists. Blessings on the solstice ❤
Those bongos are annoying
Buncha hippies.... nice atmosphere....
Witches brew
Victorians built this out of concrete.
She says it's a sacred place, so what sacred practice is she actually doing aside from lots of alcohol and molly?
What should she be doing in a sacred place?
🤦🤦🤦🙄
Pagans!!
That’s the issue here? Not the oil group defacing this historic site.
None of them have a clue what the stone circle really signifies but there they all are, like new age sheep. 😅
The stones were there to sacrifice humans to the devil
New age?
I’ve never been there but I bet it’s full of nice people. It would be a nice break from the standard trolls and aggressors I have to endure normally
🤦🤦🤦🙄
@@DL_2019The devil hadn’t been made up when these stones were erected.
I think all visitors should be silent and experience the real Solstice.Not a Solstice of self🫵🏻
Doesn't sound that peaceful.
Stone Henge was rebuilt in 1958, prior to that the stones lay flat in the feild, the present structure is just someone's idea of how they MIGHT have looked.
Wow really, I didn't know that!
@@outoforbit00 three stones were re-erected after they'd fallen 161 years ago
No true. Stop making things up. Makes you look silly.
@@outoforbit00 It isn't true...just another moron with click bait.
@@outoforbit00 he`s talking nonsense, a couple of stones that fell were put back up and set in concrete
like all ancient buildings/structures, they all need to be maintained somewhat to preserve them and keep them standing
