such a great number of people cheering and waving their flags | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
We are Somerset's Royal Marhnes and Weston`super`Mare is ond | :00:43. | :00:48. | |

Taunton`based 40 Commando h`s strong links with Weston. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
And ties with Somerset were strengthened further when m`rines | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
I think for Weston`super`Mare it's wonderful. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
We haven't done a Freedom since 1967, RAF Locking, so we can | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
It is just so special, what they do for this country and everything | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
freedoms that we all take for granted. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |

The longest day of the year has been seen in | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
They gathered around the famous Wiltshire stones | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The ancient stones, the perfect backdrop to this all`night | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
Everyone hoping sunrise on the longest day would be | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
as good as this ` the sunset which greeted people as they arrived. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Last year it was too misty, the year before we had horizontal rahn. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Hopefully this year we will get a clear one. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
So why bother making the jotrney to this far`flung corner of Wiltshire, | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
then having to walk nearly a mile from your car to the stones | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Magically, spiritually reborn, transitioning through the | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
I think it is fantastic. It is a nice atmosphere. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
It is a nicer atmosphere th`n a lot of festivals, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
everyone seems to be a lot lore laid back and it is perfect. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
And it is free. You can't beat it. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
It is very, very noisy. Very noisy. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Are you going to stay up for the sunrise? | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
The wait this year was worth the reward. | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
Regulars saying that this is as good a solstice sunrise | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Scott Ellis, BBC Points West, Stonehenge. | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
Lovely clear skies for the early morning sun ` and more | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Tonight it'll be fine and dry with clear skies, and then | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
early mist clearing tomorrow to make way for a bright, sunny morning | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
a bit more cloud developing for the afternoon but still feeling warm. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
And the fine and settled conditions continue into next week. | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
Finally, we're very sad to announce the death | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
of a much respected colleagte here at the BBC ` Trevor Fry. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
For 17 years, Trevor shared his warmth and passion | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
for the West with BBC local radio listeners ` most recently presenting | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
the Sunday Morning Breakfast Show and the Late Show. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
An award`winning broadcaster and valued friend, he'll be much | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
missed by us all, and our thoughts are with his family at this time. | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
How the everyone knows that Trevor had a connection | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
with his listeners. They take great delight in saying that everx night | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
they went to bed with Trevor Fry and he used to play on that jokd all the | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
time and it is because he h`d that personality and that warmth that | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
people felt that they knew him and regarded him not as a presenter but | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
as a friend. For many years Trevor presented the | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Sunday breakfast programme `cross morning from 6am for a spechal | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
tribute as we remember Trevor Fry. That's all for now ` | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
we'll say goodbye. For the majority of the British | :05:06. | :05:19. | |
Isles, today has wrought long spells of warm sunshine and it is the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
longest day. There is plenty more to come this evening, and yet more on | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
the cards for tomorrow. For many of us, the changes between today and | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
tomorrow are very slight. Northern Scotland has been an exception. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Tonight, thick cloud is pushing in here again. Rain in the Highland and | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
crossing into the Murray for by dawn. -- the Moret Firth. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
For northern Scotland, great prospects again on Sunday. If | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
anything, some heavier and more persistent rain. For the south, | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
though, plenty of sunshine. And once again across England and Wales, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
sparkling skies and as the sun comes up, temperatures will | :06:08. | :06:09. |
