Midsummer. . .
The longest day has been marked in different ways over the years and has its own set of customs. Lighting and jumping over bonfires on Midsummer’s Eve dates to pre-Christian pagan customs. It was thought to keep demons away and bring good luck to lovers.
Born on this day 130 years ago Britain’s finest comedian Stan Laurel here with his partner Oliver Hardy sing The Trail of the Lonesome Pine in Way Out West (1937) #StanLaurel
