I checked on google too and got the 20th at 23.59pm. It's up to you what date you put in.

According to the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this year - unusually - the Solstice does fall on the 20th June.

Added for interest
"(Note: Don't be fooled by the fact that during this period the summer solstice always occurred on 21 June. This is just a feature of the slow drift through the dates on a 400 year cycle mentioned above. The last time the solstice was not on this date was 1975 when it occurred on 22 June at 00.27 and in the year 2012 it will occur on 20 June at 23.09. For the dates in between the summer solstice will fall on 21 June.)"
