SAJ, Wow!! Thanks for this. I am truly amazed at all these 'unauthorised' changes. A couple of years back, a Town Council meeting held in the area of his present country residence had received complaints that bushes were growing over his perimeter wall. Now, that may not sound important, except the wall has an 'A' listing in its own right, and it has to be protected. JPP was going to be spoken to about the matter. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of the meeting in 2006!

I am assuming that the photos on this post belong to you, if so, thanks for sharing them with everyone. Are you able to say what the 'public notice' was all about? Even with my contact lenses in, I can't make it out.

aen27, I can't find the original article from the UK Daily Mail which I seem to recall I posted on here. I know that in the summer of 2006, JPP was undergoing divorce proceedings because a woman who was a member of the now defunct 'Planet Zeppelin' met Roy Harper backstage at a summer festival, and he told her proceedings were underway. The article from the Daily Mail may have been from 2008, and related to a property in Turners' Hill, Sussex. I recall the article was about the sale price having to be reduced. I tend to work from memory (bad idea!!!), but someone like SAJ who keeps archived records may be able to offer corrected details. I recall seeing Jimena in the audience, as you say, but this may have been a prior engagement, or they were on amicable terms. I know she was at the O2, and also at the reception party for the launch of his photo book in 2010.

aen27, If the interview is in 2006, I am afraid it is not the Old Mill House that he is referring to. Jimmy was undergoing a marital separation. He had lived in a house in West Sussex which was sold as part of the divorce. He bought a property in Berkshire. A property in Forest Row, Sussex was purchased for his estranged wife and family. I shall, as ever, stand corrected as to any of the above details.

Who has the copyright in these photographs, please?

Amie74, I have found the interior shots. They look like they are part of property sale particulars. You will find them on the thread "Jimmy Page's Old Mill House (1990)”. Unfortunately, I am unable to discern who has the intellectual property in said photos. It may be Messrs Pereds who have acted for Jimmy on a number of occasions. I cannot be sure.

amie1974, If you use the search facility on the site, you will find the threads where the Old Mill House has been exhaustively discussed before. There are photos on here of the property particulars when it went up for sale, so you can see the downstairs interior. With respect, I don't think the tour guide would cover questions about why JPP bought it, sold it, and then repurchased because he probably doesn't know the inside story himself. I do know that anyone who has been on River Thames boat trips have remarked that it is a beautiful part of the country.

Something on a more personal note, according to the UK Daily Mail, Eric is to be a grandfather for the first time at the end of this month. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2325313/RICHARD-KAY-Eric-Claptons-gig-grandfather.html#ixzz2TTBH2bvq Best remembered for his hell-raising and womanising ways as a guitar ‘god’, former first-division wild man of rock Eric Clapton is about to achieve a rather more sedate sobriquet: grandad. He will don the mantle of ultimate respectability when his eldest child, Ruth Clapton, is safely delivered of her first baby, and her father’s first grandchild, later this month. Says a family friend: ‘The baby is due any day and Eric is ecstatic.’ At the age of 68 and happily married to his second wife, Melia McEnery — she and Eric have three young daughters — the man they call Slowhand has given a firm thumbs up to his new role. Ruth, 28, is the product of Eric’s tempestuous liaison with Yve Kelly, with whom he enjoyed an adulterous affair in Montserrat while still married to model Pattie Boyd back in the Eighties. Eric had stolen Pattie from his chum George Harrison but, remarkably, stayed friends with the former Beatle. Despite once referring to her ‘dysfunctional’ family circumstances, Ruth has always featured strongly in Eric’s life before and after his stoic rehabilitation. Two years ago, he not only gave Ruth away but performed at her party when she married architect Dean Bartlett. The happy event was held at Eric’s Surrey mansion. He also loaned them his yacht for their honeymoon.

Virginia, Thanks for your response, On the basis of what you have said, Helmut Newton sucks! The kind of models favoured by HN looked, IMHO, like men in drag! What is amazing about you is your post modelling career both as a journalist, and now as a painter. Well done.

Virginia, Sorry to take the thread away from your amazing painting and TSRTS appearance, but I notice in the undernoted post that you mention doing ads for hair products. Did you do the advert for Wella Hair products by any chance? When I went to see TSRTS as a teenager in 1976 on its cinema release, it occurred to me that you closely resembled the model in the Wella adverts which were running in British glossy magazines at that time. Your artwork is wonderful, and I think everyone on the thread is thrilled to get the chance to speak to you because you were such a memorable part of TSRTS.

KingZoso, I am sure SAJ will come online and give the correct versions of these two arrests. However, it has always been my understanding that he was noticed by a police officer at Victoria Rail station to be acting like someone who is under the influence of drugs. From memory, the incident in the bank concerned Jimmy actually falling over in the premises. His story was that he was trying to withdraw money to buy a birthday present for his mother. We'll see what SAJ says. IMHO, I don't think Jimmy would have survived prison. Think of the hassle he would have got inside.

DiscoDuck, Excellent post - they got off way too lightly. You shouldn't go into other people's country and behave like that.

Nirvana, Agree with everything you are saying here. This was the one time when I could say that I was ashamed to be a LZ fan. In the Hoskyns' book on p,399, Ahmet Ertegun said, "I hated some of the tactics they used. They had a very, very embarrassing encounter with Bill Graham that was totally uncalled for, But they got away with their own success and power". I think the late, great Mr Ertegun's statement says it all. Imagine how you would feel if the beaten security people were members of your family, or your friends? Cole and Bindon had previously got together to beat up a drug dealer in London who had supplied dodgy goods. I recall the story was that Cole told Jimmy to get himself out the way. Like Icarus, Richard was flying too close to the sun towards the end of the Seventies. And as I have said in a post above, Bindon's life came to a deeply unpleasant end.

Sagittarius Rising, If I think back to the 'New Pope' thread, I am sure it was Rick (LedZepFan77) who said in that thread that he was a catholic. To me, Cole, Bindon, Bonham and Grant got off much too lightly with the whole episode. This was no proportionate retaliation to the original incident. It was thuggery. Bindon was a troublemaker all his life. He was being watched by the Royal Protection police in the UK because he had got himself inveigled with Princess Margaret's group of friends on holiday on Mustique. While they may have found him amusing company to start with, he was a disaster waiting to happen.

FILM DIRECTOR BRYAN FORBES WHO DIRECTED 'THE STEPFORD WIVES' Veteran film director and author Bryan Forbes has died at the age of 86 following a long illness. The creator of 1970s classic horror film The Stepford Wives died surrounded by family members at his home in Virginia Water, Surrey. After working as an actor in London’s West End, Mr Forbes went on to become one of the UK’s most respected directors. He released a string of hits, including 1961’s Whistle Down the Wind, which he later described as his most popular film. His varied work was recognised in 2004 when the director was awarded a CBE for services to the arts and the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Mr Forbes counted the late Queen Mother amongst his friends and worked with some of the UK’s most high-profile stars, including Roger Moore, Elton John and Michael Caine. In an interview with the Daily Mail last June, Mr Forbes revealed that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1975 before doctors later admitted they had made a mistake. Born in Stratford, East London, in 1926, Mr Forbes trained as an actor at prestigious drama school RADA before serving in the military for three years. Following a number of minor acting roles he set up a production company with his friend Richard Attenborough in 1959, only taking charge of Whistle Down the Wind - his first film behind the lens - when an established director was forced to pull out. Journalist and author Matthew D’Ancona, a family friend, described Mr Forbes as ‘simply irreplaceable’. He said: ‘Bryan Forbes was a titan of cinema, known and loved by people around the world in the film and theatre industries and known in other fields including politics. ‘He is simply irreplaceable and it is wholly apt that he died surrounded by his family.’ As an actor he appeared in the 1955 film The Colditz Story. He also began to write for the screen, receiving his first full credit for The Cockleshell Heroes in the same year. In 1964, Forbes wrote and directed Séance on a Wet Afternoon. In 1965 he went to Hollywood to make King Rat. He released a string of hits, including 1961's Whistle Down the Wind, which he later described as his most popular film The creator of 1970s classic horror film The Stepford Wives died surrounded by family members at his home in Virginia Water, Surrey Forbes was married to actress and Sixties pin-up Nanette Newman, who he wed in 1955 after divorcing his first wife Constance Smith. The couple had two daughters, TV presenter Emma Forbes and journalist Sarah Standing. Over his lengthy career, Mr Forbes juggled a plethora of interests, including owning a bookshop for 37 years that contained 10,000 books. He was also the president of EMI Elstree studios, wrote a regular column for the Spectator magazine and penned two autobiographies.

We'll have to wait for Sagittarius Rising to respond as to how he thought you were a Catholic. However, it may be due to your knowledgeable responses on the 'New Pope' thread. As for you being good, well .... there are young Asian females who say "Mr Steve he is very very good"

Sagittarius Rising, Good points that you have made here. I didn't realise that Jim Matzorkis wasn't the guy initially involved - that makes the beating he got even worse. In one account I read, Bindon had tried to gouge out Mr Matzorkis eyeballs. From the Hoskyns book (UK Edition, p399), Benji Lefevre says, "...From what I've been told, Warren was being a pain in the ass...and unfortunately John Bindon was an animal." Jim Matzorkis says, "He was just a young kid, so I took the signs from him. It wasn't a violent act of any kind." From pages 400-402, there are comments and viewpoints from Dave Northover, Bill Graham, Dennis Sheehan, Jack Calmes, Mitchell Fox, Simon Kirke and Janine Safer. For me, Janine Safer sums it up the best, "...I lay the episode entirely at the feet of Bindon, with the flames stoked by Richard Cole and then bellowed by the paranoia of Peter Grant." "...Bindon was spoiling for a fight, as was Richard". It may be of interest to any of J Bindon's victims throughout his life both here and in the US, that he died of AIDS through having to end up working as a male prostitute. (And yes, I do know that two wrongs don't make a right.) The Bill Graham security team were IMHO in a no-win situation. If they had let Warren take the signs away, they would have been in trouble for that.

The woman in the photograph is not Charlotte Martin.

SAJ, Thanks for providing this level of detail. The thing is that Bill probably would know because he kept his career so well diarised. If you know him, he might clarify for you. Off Topic:- Bill's 'Sticky Fingers' restaurant in Kensington is well worth a visit for Stones fans (I know you said in a previous post that you've been there) - lots of his personal Stones' memorabilia on the walls. The food's not bad at all.

The photo of Jimmy, Bill and Paul was taken at the party for the Willie and Poor Boys album in1985. Deborah J had previously posted a link to other photos from the occasion:- http://www.photofeat...firm/index.html

Fantastic, Sam. I've never seen this one before. Do you have a date and location for it? I would have thought it was during Jimmy's time with The Firm.

Thanks for sharing from your personal collection. I am slightly embarrassed that I didn't at least recognise Cozy Powell.

Really interesting photo!!! Who are the others in the shot? I won't expect a reply from you if those in the photo wouldn't want to be identified on this site.

Amazing - what a coincidence!!! Thanks so much for bringing the story to the forums. Love the bit about his hair. Any further information would be gratefully received here. I have certainly only ever heard of him being friendly.
