One site I have just looked at says the solstice happened at 10:44am today so happy solstice everyone 
I also saw this site which shows the which streets in various cities are aligned with the directions of the solstices - sztanko.github.io/solsticestreets/ - .It is not a lot of practical use as buildings can obscure the sunrise, but a bit of fun.

PS For anyone who wants a more comprehensive guide to sunrise and sunset times this site is very good - photoephemeris.com/
