Potraits of the Queen cover Stonehenge leaving people confused

"Something that we have never been able to figure out the purpose of... ...projected onto stonehenge"

More than 70,000 big Jubilee lunches are planned in the four UK nations over the weekend, but one sport where the Queen has become a focus is Stonehenge.

An expected 10 million people set to sit down with their neighbours on June 5, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) previously said.

However, projecting images of the Queen on Stonehenge has not to been welcomed by all.

The Salisbury monument first became an important structure around 5,000 years ago.

Red deer, elk and wild boar would have roamed opened woodland and meadow-like clearings in the area of Stonehenge 4,000 years before the iconic standing stones were constructed, according to new research.

Scientists from the University of Southampton have examined Blick Mead, a Mesolithic archaeological site about a mile away, and found that the area had not been covered in dense, closed-canopy forests as previously thought.

Instead, they believe that it would have been populated by grazing animals and hunter-gatherers.

Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people, the Royals
No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their monarcy remains
Hewn into the living rock, of Stonehenge https://t.co/cpYldj85XI

Something ancient and now pointless that we keep under the guise of tourism, projected onto stone henge

Stonehenge as you’ve never seen it before, a trashy advertising board for the royal family. Seriously bad call for a world heritage site.

An archaic relic with suggested original functions that have all been made obsolete by subsequent methods, yet is still held in religious reverence by some (who often express this by dressing up in outlandish garb).

And so is Stonehenge. https://t.co/BdOr64zc4J

We don't know exactly why and how Stonehenge was built, nor for what exact purpose. But I guarantee you, it was not for anything this fucking ridiculous. https://t.co/VQV6fROGIN
