Friday is Rock'n'Roll London Day

On This Day in Rock'n'Roll History 1969… Mick Jagger is fined £45 at Marlborough Magistrates Court here in London for the possession of cannabis.

The court (now a hotel) has many associations with the world of Rock'n'Roll, having seen Johnny Rotten and John Lennon (to name but two) put on trial here.

You can read a little more about Marlborough Street in our earlier posts It's A London Thing No.14 Monopoly and from our archive series The Saturday Street. 

And here's Mick back in '69 in Hyde Park paying tribute to Brian Jones…
