Rolf Harris has arrived in court as prosecutors prepare to outline their case that he committed a string of indecent assaults.
The 84-year-old, who denies all 12 charges against him, walked into Southwark Crown Court alongside his family.
Twelve jurors were sworn in on Thursday to hear allegations the TV personality and artist committed indecent assault on four girls, the youngest of whom was seven or eight and the oldest 19.
The alleged offences date between 1968 and 1986, and some of the evidence will be about events in Australia and New Zealand.
Harris was dressed in a grey suit and multi-coloured tie as he arrived for the trial, which is expected to last six or seven weeks.
The artist was born in Perth, Australia but has lived in the Berkshire village of Bray for more than 50 years.
Harris painted a portrait of the Queen in 2005 and hosted her Diamond Jubilee concert in front of Buckingham Palace two years ago.
His first hit was Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport in 1960 and his 40-year music career included the UK number one Two Little Boys.
His lengthy career has seen him receive a number of honours including Officer of the Order of Australia in the Queen's Birthday Honours of 2012. He also has an MBE awarded in 1968, advanced to an OBE in 1977 and then further to a CBE eight years ago.
The jury of six men and six women have been warned not to research anything about Harris.
