THE best view of the summer solstice sunrise in Britain is on offer as a charity auction on Ebay.
On the morning of the June 21 two lucky people can view the spectacular sunrise over the North Sea from the top of Nelson's Monument in Great Yarmouth.
A summer solstice ascent is the idea of volunteer guide John Russell, who will escort the successful bidders to the top of the monument to enjoy the view as the sun dawns on the longest day of the year.
The Nelson Monument, or Norfolk Naval Pillar, is a Grade I listed building completed in 1817 as a tribute to Lord Nelson and is only open on a limited number of dates throughout the year.

It stands 44 metres (144 feet) high and offers breathtaking views across the Norfolk countryside and coast.
The proceeds of this special charity auction will go to support the work of the Nelson Museum in Yarmouth.
