Except Bill and Charlie of course. Bill had some very strong personal objections against wearing a dinner jacket for the occasion, or so he said later in a TV interview. Mick T explained their absence by saying they were "unavoidably detained and can't be here tonight"
But yes Ronnie and Mick T were very matey matey. They had spent some time together in Miami, a few months prior to the ceremony. At that point in time, the friendship between Ronnie and Mick T was in much better condition than the relationship between Keith and Mick J...

When I went to An Audience With Mick Taylor and Friends in London in 2008, MT explained that Ronnie was the first other guitarist he got to know, when they were teenagers. So yes they go way back.
He also explained why Ronnie once stepped in for him. It was when MT was playing with the either the Gods or the Bluesbreakers - he said he'd drunk a pint of cider and smoked a spliff beforehand...and then found his head was spinning and so mixed up that he realised he simply couldn't play the gig, so asked Ronnie to step in for him. Ronnie assumed he had stage fright.
