Rock legends The Rolling Stones are marking a major milestone.
It is 50 years this week since they first performed together as a band.
The group, made up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, first performed at London's Marquee Club on July 12, 1962.
Their live stage shows earned them a reputation as one of the best rock and roll bands in the world.
The Rolling Stones dominated the charts during the 60s, 70s and 80s and will be in London to mark their anniversary by launching a book and exhibition.
They were in New Zealand as part of their "A Bigger Bang" world tour in 2006.
Jagger and Richards are 68, Watts is 71 and Wyman is 75.
