Jolyon Frampton and Clare Winkel won tickets in the winter solstice lottery for December 22nd, they were very fortunate to experience a glorious sunrise in the chamber at Newgrange.
Clare leaving the Visitors Centre with mist over the Boyne, it didn't look like a good morning for the sun to illuminate the Newgrange passage and chamber.
