This is the first glimpse of the statues being unveiled this week to honour two of Kent’s most famous sons.

The Glimmer Twins will go on display at One Bell Corner in Dartford as a tribute to Rolling Stones Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Created by sculptor Amy Goodman, the bronze work was commissioned by Dartford council and paid for with a public art contribution by Bellway London’s Copperhouse Green Development on Lowfield Street, in the town centre.

The rock legends, who went on to sell millions of records and take the world by storm, started from humble beginnings in Dartford.

Keith lived above a parade of shops in Chastilian Road while Mick was raised in Denver Road.

Legend has it, the men met on platform 2 at Dartford station in 1961 – going on to form one of the world’s biggest bands, but they actually first knew each other as pupils at Wentworth Primary School before going their separate ways for their secondary education.

Mick went to Dartford Grammar School for Boys, which is home to the Mick Jagger Centre opened in his honour in 2000.

While Keith attended Dartford Technical High School, now Wilmington Grammar School for Boys.

The all-important railway station meeting resulted in an innocent chat about music as they waited for their train.

They would eventually go on to answer an advert placed by Brian Jones for bandmates to form a new group called The Rolling Stones. And the rest is history.

The bronze statutes of the two stars strutting their stuff will be unveiled on Wednesday at noon.
