LONDON -- A series of intimate portraits of The Rolling Stones in London and California in the sixties are going on display in London this week.

The snaps, which show the band taking in Stonehenge, Joshua Tree National Park and Los Angeles as their fame escalated during the tail end of the decade, were taken by close friend and photographer Michael Cooper.

They're part of a new exhibition, Courting The Stones: Photographs by Michael Cooper, which opens at London's Proud Galleries on Friday Oct 16 and runs to Nov 22.

Cooper photographed the band several times during their career, and also captured iconic images of The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Marianne Faithfull and artists including Andy Warhol and Peter Blake, as well as the cover photography for The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
