Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has received an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) from the Queen - but the award was for his work with poor Brazilian children rather than his music.
Page said he was overwhelmed to be given the accolade, recalling how he first became involved with Brazilian children in 1994 while in Rio de Janeiro promoting an album.
