The American stylist and fashion designer - who had a 13-year-old relationship with the rock icon - committed suicide by hanging herself in her Manhattan apartment in March 2014, aged 49.

To mark her birthday, Mick has posted a picture of L'Wren on his Instagram account in which she is seen posing in front of a sunset, with a camera in her hands.

The 72-year-old Rolling Stones star captioned the heart-warming photograph: "Remembering L'Wren on her birthday."

Mick posted the same words on his social media account in 2015 to mark his ex-girlfriend's 51st birthday.

Mick's latest tribute comes shortly after he revealed he feels comforted wearing clothes designed by his late partner.

The Brit admitted he regularly chooses to wear outfits designed for him by L'Wren, saying it helps him to stay close to his memories of the late fashion designer.

He explained: "I don't find it difficult emotionally to wear her clothes. In fact it's quite nice for me. I've got a big selection of her stuff and the wardrobe mistress goes nuts because I always want to bring them all on tour.

"At the end of the day I just pick them up and go: 'Ah that's one of L'Wrens ... I like this one.'"
