Keith Richards is one of rock 'n' roll's ultimate survivors, and that status has been underlined by him becoming a great grandfather.
The Rolling Stones' guitarist's granddaughter Ella revealed the happy news by sharing a picture of herself with her daughter Luna.

"30!! best birthday yet with our baby girl Luna🌙" said Ella.
Ella's partner is photographer Sascha von Bismarck.
She had previously announced her pregnancy in March, when she posted a nude black and white selfie with her baby bump, tagging in her long-term boyfriend.
Ella's dad Marlon Richards is the son of Keith and Anita Pallenberg, who died in 2017 due to complications from hepatitis C.
Keith had two other children with Pallenberg: Dandelion Angela Richards, and Tara Jo Jo Gunne Richards, who tragically died aged just two months in 1976.
He had two further children – Theodora Dupreee Richards and Alexandra Nicole Richards – with his second wife Patti Hansen, to whom he is still married.
Richards is not the first Rolling Stone to become a great grandparent, with Mick Jagger getting in there first when his granddaughter Assisi Jackson had her first child in 2014.
