The concert was a tribute to the band’s drummer, Charlie Watts, who passed in August last year.

Sir Mick Jagger addressed the crowd in Italian, having learned the language during his many trips to Sicily and Tuscany.

“This is our first tour without Charlie, and we miss him terribly,” Jagger said.

A video montage of Watts was projected on huge screens around the stadium, which showed photos and live footage of the band’s time together.

The 80-year-old musicians played for two hours, delighting fans with their iconic, energetic moves.

There were several references to the Ukraine war over the course of the evening.

Guitarist Keith Richards dressed in yellow and blue – Ukraine’s national colours – and displayed images of bombed buildings on the screen behind the band.
