more positive about their own profession.

Our Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys was watching.

So what kind of reception did she get on balance? She got a fairly

The Rolling Stones have entertained an estimated half a million people

at an historic free concert in Havana -

the first of its kind on the communist-run island.

During the Cold War, western rock music was discouraged

in Cuba, with the Rolling Stones banned from state-run radio

# I was born in a crossfire hurricane #.

It was the gig that generations of Cubans had been waiting to see.

From the very start, the Rolling Stones delighted

the enormous crowd, rocking them out with a set list

At one point Mick Jagger said it was going to be
