The Rolling Stones hosted a free gig at London’s Hyde Park on July 5, 1969.
The ‘Brown Sugar’ hitmakers used the concert to pay their respects to former guitarist Brian Jones, who tragically drowned two days before the performance.
300,000 attendees held a moments silence as frontman Sir Mick Jagger read from Shelley’s ‘Adonais’, An Elegy on the Death of author John Keats.
He said: ‘Peace, peace! He is not dead…’
The band were joined by Mick Taylor on guitar.
