Happy Winter Solstice, all: the shortest day of the year, when light begins to return. Whilst many people gather at Stonehenge, this year you'll find us at home, bringing in the occasion with a bourbons-based monument of our own. https://t.co/fJuW0PS0Q9

We felt that it was appropriate to share one of Joan Eardley's most-loved paintings today, the winter solstice, as a reminder to find beauty and light within the darkness. 🖼️ 'Catterline in Winter' (1963) Joan Eardley, oil on hardboard. © Estate of Joan Eardley #JoanEardley100 https://t.co/iIfxvrp4pY

For the first time since the Taliban takeover in August, Tolo TV put to air live music on its channel. It was to mark "Shab-e-Yalda" - a winter solstice celebration. The night of Yalda celebrates the triumph of light over darkness #Afghanistan https://t.co/0PayIemSjM

Today is the #WinterSolstice. The shortest day, the longest night and then it starts to grow. The light gets longer, the nights; shorter. Hopefully this is how the UK will change, because I have to believe things will change. Things WILL change. https://t.co/Tmn8CDzODF

#GeorgeMackayBrown's poem records the last rays of the sun on the shortest day which shine down Maeshowe's entrance passage to illuminate the darkness of the chambered cairn. The death of the old year, the birth of the new one as light returns. Happy #WinterSolstice everyone. https://t.co/v4IApUPpGg

The #WinterSolstice arrives on Tues 21 Dec at 15:59 GMT, when the earth’s northern pole tilts to the furthest point away from the sun, giving us the shortest day of the year - only 7 hrs & 49 mins of daylight. From now on the light will slowly start to return. #FairytaleTuesday https://t.co/LS3DN4wSkN
