Full moon coincides with summer solstice

Today, a full moon coincides with the longest day of the year, an event that hasn’t happened since 1967. June’s full moon is called a ‘Strawberry Moon’ because the Algonquin tribes of North America believed it was the start of strawberry picking season. 

About 25,000  are expected at Stonehenge to celebrate the solstice and English Heritage  is charging people to park.
