About 200 people set their alarms early to witness the dawn of the longest day of the year at the UK's most easterly point.
Ness Point in Lowestoft, Suffolk, is among the first places in the country to see the sun peek over the horizon each morning.
It has a special resonance on 21 June - the summer solstice - when the sun is at its highest point in the sky for a year, kicking off astronomical summer.
With the night becoming day at 04:30 BST, it was an early wake-up call for those gathered.
