Description
Jeff Collins reports on the Druids’ celebration of the Spring Solstice, next to the Tower of London. Druid, Sardia, plays the role of one of the elements pivotal to the ceremony, air. Chief Druid David Loxley says in this day and age of greed and capitalism their message about spring is well-received. The order’s Presider, John, says the majority of people listen peacefully, although members of the order do get some negative comments.
