The Rolling Stones perform a free concert at Hyde Park, London.
Picture shows a section of the fans. It is thought that the crowd number was between 250, 000 and 500, 000 fans.
Hundreds of fans cooled off in the nearby Serpentine as they waited for the concert to start. The Rolling Stones paid tribute to their former member Brian Jones who died at his Sussex home on 3rd July. Fans sang songs for him and stood in silence for him. Mick Jagger read Shelleys Adonais in memory of him.
He asked the fans in the Cockpit, a grassy area above the Serpentine, to " cool it for a minute because I would really like to say something about Brian. I don t know how to do this thing, but I m going to tryI m just going to say something that was written by Shelley."
He began: " Peace, peace! he is not dead, he does not sleep/He has awakened from the dream of life

As the camera lens focuses on a section of the massive crowd, it becomes evident that this was no ordinary gathering. Estimates suggest that between 250,000 and 500,000 fans flocked to witness this historic event. The scorching summer sun prompted hundreds of eager supporters to seek respite in the nearby Serpentine as they eagerly awaited the start of the concert. Little did they know that this performance would hold special significance. The band paid tribute to their former member Brian Jones, who had tragically passed away just days before at his Sussex home. In a touching moment during the show, Mick Jagger addressed the audience from atop a grassy area known as "the Cockpit" overlooking Serpentine.

This photograph serves as an everlasting testament to not only The Rolling Stones' electrifying performance but also their ability to unite thousands under one musical spell. It transports us back in time to July 5th, 1969 when youth culture thrived amidst sunny skies and vibrant fashion choices – forever etching this unforgettable day into rock 'n' roll history.
