The oldest family photograph taken at Stonehenge has been found in the collection of Queen guitarist Brian May, English Heritage has said.
The 3D stereoview image was taken by photographer Henry Brooks during the 1860s and shows his family enjoying a day out at the historic landmark, the heritage organisation said.
The image will been seen in a new exhibition at Stonehenge.

It will be displayed at the neolithic Wiltshire monument alongside a soundtrack of May playing Queen song Who Wants To Live Forever on the piano.
Share This is a fantastic early example and exciting because it s one of the oldest family snaps taken at Stonehenge. It feels even more evocative when set to music - a bit like a silent movie and we thought it would be great fun to recreate the image as a stereo view at Stonehenge and breathe new life into an old photo.
