Yesterday, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Nick Mason helped unveil a plaque honoring the band at the site of the former Regent Street Polytechnic in London.
Waters, Mason and Rick Wright studied architecture at the institution, now the University of Westminster, from 1962-65, when they formed the band with Syd Barrett.
Juliette Gale, first wife of Wright and also a former student of the school, also attended the event.
The plaque is the second to be installed as part of the Regent Street Heritage Plaque Program. The first was placed in 2012 on Heddon Street, the location of the cover art for David Bowie‘s 1972 album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.”
Perfect. an honorary plaque dedicated to the band including Syd. Now wonder they are all Smiles. Honored college nostalgia. Great band great honor.
