The Rolling Stones's icon Mick Jagger and Blur drummmer Dave Rowntree are among a group of 200 celebrities to pen a letter to the people of Scotland, urging them to 'vote no' on independence in the upcoming referendum. 

The letter was set up by Let's Stay Together, a group of campaigners and public who do not get a vote - but tells Scotland "how very much we value our bonds of citizenship with you".

 Other signatures include Sting, Sir Alan Sugar, Sir Cliff Richard, David Attenborough, Dame Judi Dench, Brian Cox and Irvine Welsh.

See the full open letter and list of names here.

The letter says: "The decision on whether to leave our shared country is, of course, absolutely yours alone. Nevertheless, that decision will have a huge effect on all of us in the rest of the United Kingdom.

"We want to let you know how very much we value our bonds of citizenship with you, and to express our hope that you will vote to renew them. What unites us is much greater than what divides us."

The referendum takes place on Thursday 18 September, 2014.
