Rolling Stones Welcome

More than four decades after their 1964 gig at the Empress Ballroom finished in a riot, The Rolling Stones are finally being allowed back into Blackpool.
The band were bundled off stage as the ballroom erupted in violence, believed to have started after a member of the 7,000-strong crowd spat at guitarist Brian Jones.
A ban has effectively kept the band out of the resort ever since.
But the current council leader would like to see the situation remedied stating "...the ban is lifted. We reach out the hand of friendship. "What I am saying is: 'Come back Mick, all is forgiven.'"
