An alternative rock band from Gloucestershire have been honoured in their hometown.
A blue plaque has been unveiled in Cinderford for EMF, in recognition of their "unbelievable achievements".
Of course - they're best known for their hit track, 'Unbelievable'.
At the unveiling, the Town Crier said: "EMF were indeed the 'real deal' when it came to writing and performing - and the band would go on to have a string of hits with unquestionable success.
"It's a real story of local boys done good!"
He also paid tribute to their late bass guitarist Zac Foley, who died in 2002 at the age of 31.
After showing the blue plaque to the world, the band called it a 'great honour', adding they're 'blown away' at the local response - and the turnout to the ceremony yesterday.
The Mayor added: "We have been so excited to get this blue plaque unveiled.
"This was all the idea of our Town Crier - and we really appreciate all of the support that's come out for this great local band."
They'll be going on tour in 2025/6 - and will be headlining a free festival in the Forest of Dean this summer.
Cindyfest will be taking place on Saturday July 12.
