 One of the first photographs to arrive: sunrise over The Black Isle |
When we asked for your photos of sunrise on the longest day, we weren't sure what response we'd get.
How many Breakfast viewers would set their alarms well before 5am, just to take a photo?
Well, the answer, it seems, is hundreds of you.
Just before 4.30am this morning, we began receiving your digital photos.
The wave of e-mails began with those living in the Scottish Highlands and islands - and swept southwards, rather like the sunrise itself.

We'd asked what dawn looks like on the longest day wherever you live. And you responded magnificently.
By 6am, we'd had at least 100 e-mails. By 8am, we'd lost count of the number of photographs you'd sent in.
Some of you sent photographs of the view from your front garden. Some of you went further and trekked to local beauty spots: parks, lakes - even a windfarm high up in the Pennines.
We showed a selection on BBC Breakfast this morning - and you can see more here on the website.  | The summer solstice |
We've had so many high quality images that BBC News 24 will also be using them throughout the day.
The image that we're using at the top of this page was sent to us by Ian Carus, from the Black Isle in the north of Scotland.
He tells us:
"This was taken at 4.15 this morning from our front garden.
"I was really lucky with the light, as shortly after it clouded over and started to rain."
Sonia Sellick sent us the view from her front garden, at Malmesbury in Wiltshire.

And Karl Risley confesses that he sneaked off from a nightshift at RAF Portreath, to send us his photo of Newquay, taken somewhere between Portreath and Hell's Mouth.
Ben Monkhouse from Guernsey sent us a golden sunrise, from St Peter Port.
And keen photographer John Wigley, from Petersfield in Hampshire, went to his local beauty spot: the Heath Lake.
We have been amazed at how many wonderful pictures have been e-mailed to us this morning, but unfortunately, we're unable to handle any more.
If you didn't manage to get your image to us in time, don't worry: we're hoping to repeat the whole exercise very soon.
