Jair Stones police letter to be sold

A letter from the Rolling Stones that thanks police for providing security at a 1964 concert is expected to fetch £4,600 when it is auctioned next month.

The letter, signed by all five band members including the late Brian Jones, offers "sincere appreciation" to police in north London.

Dated 9 September 1964, it refers to a gig at the Finsbury Park Astoria four days earlier.

It will be sold at the Jubilee Auction Rooms in Wiltshire on 10 September.

The letter is addressed to the officer in charge of "Finsbury Park Police Station", which did not exist.

'Grateful'

It was forwarded by the Post Office to Highbury Vale Police Station, whose commander gave it to a young WPC - the letter's present owner.

"We would be grateful if you would thank the officers concerned on their behalf," it read.

The Rolling Stones did not always have such cordial relations with Her Majesty's Constabulary.

Six months later, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman and Jones were arrested and charged with urinating on the wall of an east London petrol station.

And in February 1964, Jagger and Keith Richards ("Richard" in the letter) were arrested and charged with drugs offences.

# A 90-minute concert film showing the Rolling Stones performing in Turin in 1990 will be screened at the London Imax cinema next month.

Rolling Stones at the Max shows the band perform 15 songs, including such classics as Satisfaction, Brown Sugar and Start Me Up.

The film will play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 2 September until the end of November.

The band are currently in the US on the first leg of their A Bigger Bang world tour.
