Led Zeppelin at Jason Bonham's wedding reception in Bewdley, Worcs in April 1990

Justin said: 'I love to get a scoop. One of my favourites was Led Zeppelin. I'd had a tip that John Bonham's son, Jason, was getting married and that the original members may turn up.

'I dressed up in a suit to blend in and stood outside the church and photographed them as they came out. Peter Grant, their notoriously violent manager, saw me and approached me. 'I thought he was going to smash my cameras but he just smiled, asked if I was having a nice day and getting good pictures and walked away. He seemed like the perfect English gentleman - don't always believe what you read!

'I followed the cars to a hotel. It was a lovely day and I spent the afternoon in the garden drinking Guinness and smoking. Come the evening, everyone was getting drunk so I decided to move into the dancing room and mingle with the guests.

'A support band played then, before i knew it, someone announced, "ladies and gentlemen, Led Zeppelin" and there were John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page 10ft in front of me on a little stage playing to a 150 people.
'They hadn't played together for 10 years and did five songs - probably one of my favourite gigs. My photos sold round the world.'

There are perceptive, in-depth new reviews of every Led Zep album, incredible and rare photographs, and a guide to rarities that ensures The Ultimate Music Guide is an essential purchase for the band's army of fans.
