Charlie Watts, the Rolling Stone’s long-time drummer and lover of all things jazz, passed away this week.

He was 80 years old.

Watts, who had celebrated his birthday in June, joined the Rolling Stones in 1963.

He had grown up in Wembley, north London, and met fellow Stone, Mick Jagger, as a teenager.

Sky News has dug through archives to show Watts’ extraordinary life in pictures.
