Midsummer celebrations – what’s your style?
Zuzanna — By Zuzanna on June 12, 2009 at 6:32 amThe 21st of June marks the a summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The day is longer the further North you are, with 24 hours of daylight in the North Pole and 24 hours of darkness in the South Pole. In London the Sun rises at 0449 and sets at 2115.
The longest day and the shortest night have been celebrated down the ages among Celts, Slavs and Germans with dance, music and singing. It was a celebration of fire and water, the Sun and the Moon, fertility and love.
You can still celebrate in old style or choose something modern. Here are some of the various events happening in London:
