Rolling Stones recreate beloved Red Lion boozer for Hyde Park gig to relive youth

The stars are all propping up their own bars this summer...

Not least The Rolling Stone s, who recreated the Red Lion pub in Sutton, Surrey, backstage at BST Hyde Park to relive their youth at tonight's gig.

The original boozer is now a listed building renamed The Winning Post.

But the band played some of their first-ever gigs there in 1962, soon being by spotted by promoter Giorgio Gomelsky.

Despite some of the group now being teetotal – and certainly cutting back on what they would have sank backstage in the 60s – they requested a selection of beers, ciders and fizz for family and friends.

The posh pub grub included grilled hanger steaks with mushrooms, roasted tomato and bordelaise sauce or masala marinated chicken with roti and yogurt, followed by some Guinness cakes.

The Stones’ set-up comes after Adele had her own Queen Vic built at the same festival on Friday night in honour of her favourite soap, EastEnders.

Pal Sid Owen - who played Ricky Butcher in the soap - popped in.

The singer told Desert Island Discs over the weekend that she imagined her late grandad was present during her Glastonbury festival set in 2016 - even though he would have “hated” the festival.
