"The Rolling Stones have planted model oak trees in Hyde Park ahead of their two shows there. The band will headline the London-based royal park on July 6 and 13 and have erected a series of 70-foot-high oak trees to recreate the woodland feel of Hyde Park&amp;#039;s past.  It&amp;#039;s been reported that they wanted to recreate the image of the park back in 1969, when it was covered with more trees, with more than 10,000 branches added to the model to make it blend in with the stage. &amp;quot;When Mick and the band looked out from the stage back in the &amp;#039;60s all they could see was a sea of people and a load of trees, but many of those have been cleared or replanted since,&amp;quot; a source told The Sun.  &amp;quot;So they want to recreate the woodland. As you can see from the pictures, the two oak trees either side are absolutely massive. They want it to look as authentic as possible.&amp;quot;  The Rolling Stones&amp;#039; date on Saturday (July 6) - which is part of Barclaycard&amp;#039;s British Summertime series of shows - is almost exactly to the day when they first played the park in 1969. Two days before that past show, former band member Brian Jones drowned in a swimming pool at his home, so Mick Jagger released 2,000 white butterflies in his memory. Elton John, JLS, Jennifer Lopez and Lionel Richie are among the other artists to play Barclaycard&amp;#039;s British Summertime at Hyde Park later this month. Watch The Rolling Stones perform &amp;#039;Sympathy For The Devil&amp;#039; live at Hyde Park back in 1969 below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
