A new blue commemorative plaque has been placed at the train station in Dartford, England, where Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met and formed the Rolling Stones.

According to the BBC, Dartford mayor Avtar Sandhu and Dartford Grammar School head John Oakes were on hand for the unveiling ceremony, which took place on a platform of the rail station.

"I hope that in the years ahead many thousands of rail passengers will enjoy looking at the plaque and realizing what a huge part the station played in bringing The Rolling Stones together.

According to legend, the two bumped into each other on October 17, 1961 and struck up a conversation over their favorite blues artists.

Shortly thereafter, Jagger asked Richards to join his group Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys, which led to the formation of the Stones.
