Pagans were left red-faced when they celebrated the winter solstice at Stonehenge - on the wrong day.

Around 60 people wearing full-length cloaks met at the mystical site yesterday morning to mark the shortest day of the year.

But this year, the solstice was not until today.

One of the revellers said: “We formed a ring and held hands and touched the stones.

“But there were a lot of red faces when we realised it was the wrong day.”
