Pink Floyd gets commemorative plaque
A plaque has been unveiled in the English capital at the former site of London Polytechnic, to mark the spot where British rock band Pink Floyd formed 50 years ago.
The band's surviving founding members from 1965, Roger Waters and Nick Mason, were present at the ceremony at the site on Regent Street where their old college once stood and which is now home to the University of Westminster.
The initial band line-up formed at the college also included Syd Barrett and Richard Wright (who, like Waters and Mason, was studying architecture at the college at the time) and when the foursome first started performing together, it was under a host of different names, including 'Sigma 6' and the 'Screaming Abdabs'.
