They have not always have seen eye to eye. But the ex-wives, former lovers and current girlfriend of Mick Jagger united to support him as he said a final farewell to his beloved father Joe.
Wearing a blacksuit and tie the rockstar looked stricken with grief as he welcomed mourners to the funeral service close to his Richmond home.
He was accompanied by his 39-year-old American girlfriend L’Wren Scott who wore a black suit and dark sunglasses.
However his ex-wives Jerry Hall and Bianca Jagger, and ex-girlfriend Marsha Hunt also attended to pay their respects along with their children, including Jade Jagger and Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger.
Sir Mick was devastated by the death of his father, a former PE teacher, earlier this month from pneumonia.
Since his mother Eva died in May 2000 he had been extremely protective of the 93-year-old, whom he considered to be the greatest influence in his life.
Mr Jagger was admitted to hospital at the start of the month after injuring himself in a fall at his Surrey home.
His condition suddenly deteriorated hours after his son returned to the U.S. for the Rolling Stones’ A Bigger Bang World Tour after being told his father was improving.
Yesterday the 63-year-old looked deep in thought as he stood by the door of St Mary’s College church in Teddington to greet music legends including Sir Bob Geldof and Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts.
Sir Mick’s younger brother Chris helped carry the coffin inside for the emotional 40 minute service.
Afterwards the star managed to raise a smile as he spoke to the vicar.
Meanwhile Miss Hall, 50, looked pale faced under her beret as she left the service, while 22-year-old Elizabeth, her eldest child by Jagger, wiped away tears.
Family members stood in a line outside the church to watch the coffin being driven away.
An onlooker said: "Sir Mick looked very sad as he looked at his father’s coffin. He did smile a few times but he was very reflective looking most of the time. He seemed really grateful for the support of all the family members he had around him."
Jewellery designer Jade Jagger, who was dressed in a military style black jacket, was accompanied to the funeral by her two daughters, Assisi, 14, and Amba, ten, while American singer Miss Hunt attended with her daughter by Jagger, 35-year-old Karis.
Onlookers, including college students who had heard the ceremony was happening and wanted to see the stars attending the funeral, were amazed to see so many of the Rolling Stones' glamorous women and all but one of his seven children gathered in one place.
Marsha Hunt, 60, was there with her daughter by Jagger, 35-year-old mother of two Karis.
The iconic American singer, who last year revealed she was battling breast cancer, had an affair with Sir Mick, who is worth around £175 million, in 1970.
The star refused to accept financial responsibility for the baby and she was forced to fight the notoriously tightfisted singer through the courts to win maintenance.
However the two buried the hatchet and are now good friends who talk regularly and see each other from time to time.
When Karis, who lives in LA, married in 2002 the pair jointly hosted her wedding.
Bianca Jagger attended with her daughter Jade and her children Assisi, 14, and Amber, 10.
The Nicaraguan-born former model married Sir Mick in St Tropez a year after his fling with Miss Hunt after meeting him at a Stones concert after party.
She was 21 and already four months pregnant with Jade by the time they wed.
Their relationship was notoriously volatile and the 55-year-old has since said they were too young and she found it impossible to fit in with his rock and roll life.
The marriage finally hit the rocks for good when she discovered he had been having an affair with Jerry Hall, whom he met while she was engaged to Roxy Music's Bryan Ferry.
Bianca filed for divorce in November 1979, on the grounds of his adultery, and went on to carve a career for herself as an American-based documentary maker.
Sir Mick went on to move in with Miss Hall, now 50, and he asked her to marry him after she became sick of his constantly roving eyes.
They went on to have four children together, Elizabeth, 22, James, 21, Georgia May 13, and Gabrielle, seven who also attended the funeral.
The couple were together for 23 years but the Texan model filed for divorce in 1999 after discovering he had had a fling with Brazilian model Luciana Morad while the band toured Rio in 1999.
The affair, which resulted in the birth of his son Lucas, now seven, was the last straw for Miss Hall.
Until recently Miss Hall and Miss Jagger lived next door to each other but she was thought to be unhappy when he moved in his present girlfriend, American L'Wren Scott who is 6ft 4ins.
The two women are said to have a somewhat chilly relationship and the singer and Miss L'Wren currently live in a suite at Claridges.
