1983:

The night after the ARMS benefit, the same group of master musicians performed at another benefit concert at the Royal Albert Hall, the Prince's Trust Rock Gala. The Prince's Trust was founded in 1976 by HRH The Prince Of Wales to support 13 to 30 year olds who are unemployed, struggling at school and who are at risk of exclusion. The first Prince's Trust Rock Gala was held at the Dominion Tottenham Court Road in 1982.

2005:

Jimmy Page was awarded honorary citizenship in the state of Rio de Janeiro for his work with Brazil's poor and abandoned children via "Casa Jimmy,'' a residential shelter. The honorary citizenship was approved by the state legislature on Sept. 9, 2004 but Jimmy Page was unable to receive the award until a year later. His work in Brazil helped earn him the title Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, one of Britain's highest honors, awarded by Queen Elizabeth in June, 2005.

2012:
Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones held a press conference in London after launching the screening of Celebration Day, the concert film of the 2007 O2 reunion show.

The press conference covered the show, the band’s early career and the possibility of a reunion, with Page, Plant and Jones avoiding questions about any future reunion. At one point, Jimmy Page said, “Can I ask you a question? You’ve all been to see the film. Did you enjoy it?”

Asked why it took so long to release the DVD, John Paul Jones responded, “Five years is like five minutes in Zeppelin time.”

2013:
On this day in 2013 Jimmy Page attended the third annual Jester’s Care for Kids Gala Party Night, a fundraiser put on by Thailand's Jester's Motorcycle Club to benefit the Care for Kids charity. Jimmy Page supports this charty by attending the Gala Parties and donating items to be auctioned for the cause.
