Rolling Stones yes, this person played on a number of Stones sessions, late 60s/early 70s and made an album with stones and others.
This album will give you the E.

Meyerbeer's march was used for E

the Rossini has the E but translated.

[Flay]

What's happened to Flay? Last seen in a distillery in Oban ... at least his name's not Clarence!

Here I am, here I am. How do you do?

It was terrible, I got locked in there....

Are we talking Edward (VII)?

[mercia]

Meyerbeer's march was used for E

well wiki says a Coronation March from Le Prophete is popular
and a march from Les Huguenots gets played at Trooping the Colour

[Flay]

Are we talking Edward (VII)?

No, wrong track. That was a Grand Coronation March "Written specially for the Bile Bean Manufacturing Co. to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII" according to the National Library of Australia's catalogue but was on the same webpage as Meyerbeer

Well there's Jamming with Edward!

The eponymous Edward was pianist Nicky Hopkins, in reference to Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder, Hopkins' star turn on Quicksilver Messenger Service's album Shady Grove.
