He famously left the Rolling Stones in 1993.

But Bill Wyman was back with his former bandmates when he attended the launch of their new exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, on Monday.

The 79 year-old was joined by his very colourful family as they marked the band's first major memorabilia display in their fifty-year history.

The retired musician cut a casual figure on the red carpet, where he sported a color co-ordinated look in brown. 

This consisted of a suede jacket, a pair of corduroy trousers, slip-on shoes and a flannel shirt, which had clearly all been synced.  

Seemingly delighted to be back in the presence of his former band-mates, he was all-smiles as he greeted the world's media.

However, it was his family (and their rather eccentric fashion sense) which also commanded plenty of attention.

This included his wife, Suzanne Accosta, who stepped out in a floral, red silk dress, which she matched with contrasting floral wedges and a black jacket.

Then, in addition, were their three daughters: Jessica Rose, Matilda Mae and Katherine Noelle, who provided equally bold displays. 

One of them even sported blue dreadlocks and a floor-length crushed velvet gothic-meets-West London number in aquamarine.

Howt was his family (and their rather eccentric fashion sense) which also commanded plenty of attention.

The family's united front comes just weeks after the 79-year-old musician revealed that he is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer and is hopeful of making a full recovery.

He was last seen in public on the weekend at Rupert Murdoch's wedding to former supermodel Jerry Hall in London. 

A spokesman for the father-of-four said: 'Bill Wyman, former member of The Rolling Stones, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

'He is undergoing treatment and is expected to make a full recovery as it was caught in the early stages.' In the statement, his family asked for privacy.

Other guests included guitarist Jeff Beck, Bob Geldof, Sir Mick's daughter and model Georgia May Jagger along with former Spice Girl Geri Horner, Game Of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger were among the celebrities who took to the red carpet.

The exhibition spans two floors of the King's Road gallery, which is a stone's throw away from Edith Grove.

Nine different rooms covering over 1,750 square metres, each with its own distinctly designed environment, will be used to show how the band has changed the way rock music is experienced.

It will also include original stage designs, a 3D simulation of what it is like to be backstage, and then on the stage, with The Stones in addition to their collaborations with various big-name artists and designers such as Andy Warhol, Alexander McQueen and Martin Scorsese.
