On the shortest night of the year, photographers take shots of the setting sun behind Alport Stone, while a 'Strawberry Moon' rises behind them above Alport Height near Wirksworth, Derbyshire. The next time this rare summer moon, which some say gets its name as it marks the start of the strawberry picking season, will be seen on the night of the summer solstice will be in 46 years time.
