The Osmonds (combined age, 365) roll into London
There may have been a few extra wrinkles, but there was no mistaking the toothy grins as the Osmonds rolled into London today.
The family, who have a combined age of 365, are in the capital to promote a DVD to mark their 50th anniversary.
With a squeaky-clean image and strict Mormon background, the group enjoyed enormous success in the 1970s with hits such as Love Me For A Reason and Crazy Horses.

The pop stars reformed for a series of concerts in Las Vegas last year - taking to the stage together for the first time in 27 years.

The Osmonds made their name in the 1960s as a quartet - featuring the talents of Alan, Jay, Merrill and Wayne. But there was much more where that came from.
When younger brother Donny joined the group in the 1970s, with his heartthrob looks and sweet voice, the Osmonds' popularity soared.
They sold more than 100million records worldwide.

However, cracks began to appear when Donny started a solo career and also teamed up with his little sister Marie. The pair landed a primetime entertainment show in the U.S.
Then their youngest brother Jimmy got in on the act, with his own solo hit Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool.
The Osmonds officially split up in 1980 amid reports of infighting, jealousy and financial problems.
But the family have put aside any drama, with Jimmy saying: 'After all these years we snap right back into the same old routines. It really is like riding a bicycle.’
