Rockin' Bill Wheeler is in the centre of a famous picture of Brighton taken during the Mods and Rockers clashes in 1964.
Wearing a leather jacket, he is seen brandishing a deckchair above his head on the seafront.
Now he has given the jacket to an exhibition at Brighton Museum. He didn't want to do it but the garment was falling apart and it was time to jacket in.
