Sir Mick Jagger last performed with the Rolling Stones in 2024
Sir Mick Jagger has made a surprise appearance at an Oxford pub performing with local students.
The Rolling Stones frontman was spotted at the Half Moon in St Clements performing during the venue's weekly folk session on Sunday night.
A spokesman at the pub said his team were "delighted" by Sir Mick's "surprise cameo".
The rock star was in the city with his partner, former American ballerina Melanie Hamrick, as guests of Oriel College, where they joined students at Evensong at the chapel, and for a meal at the college's high table.
"After dinner and drinks in the SCR (Senior Common Room) a small group went off to the pub where Mick gave an impromptu performance with Rolling Stones keyboard player Matt Clifford and Oriel Politics academic Robert Cheah," the college said.

Sir Mick, 82, was seen performing the traditional song Handsome Molly with his fellow punters, a track that was also on his Wandering Spirit solo album in 1993.
Commenting on the surprise show, Johnnie at the pub said: "The Half Moon prides itself on its authentic atmosphere and welcoming community.
"Our Sunday folk session has been going for many years and is open to everyone - whether you're a beginner player or an international rock star.
"You never know what to expect at the Half Moon."
Sir Mick last performed with the Rolling Stones in 2024 as part of the Hackney Diamonds Tour.
The band's new album Foreign Tongues, their 25th, will be released in July.
