- Published
Sir Paul McCartney has married his American fiancee Nancy Shevell at a London register office. About 30 guests attended the civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall.
The pair were photographed at their London home making their way to their wedding ceremony.
Dozens of fans, well-wishers and press hoping for a glimpse of the couple gathered on the steps of Old Marylebone Town Hall, the same venue where Sir Paul married first wife Linda Eastman 42 years ago. Barricades were eventually set up to clear a path for their arrival and exit as man and wife.
Paul McCartney's former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr and his wife, actress Barbara Bach, were among the guests at the wedding.
One Beatles fan came bedecked with balloons to wish the couple well ahead of their wedding ceremony at the central London venue.
The wedding reception was held in the back garden of Sir Paul's house in St John's Wood, London, close to Abbey Road studios, where the Beatles recorded most of their songs.
Garden furniture and bouquets of flowers had been delivered to the north London home of the former Beatle on Saturday. Reports suggested Sir Paul's daughter Stella designed her new stepmother's wedding dress and took a role in creating menus for the reception.
Sir Paul's first marriage to Linda, who he married at the same venue in 1969, lasted until she died from breast cancer in 1998.
Sir Paul's second marriage was to former glamour model Heather Mills, whom he married in front of several hundred guests at an Irish castle in 2002. The couple, who have a daughter, divorced in 2008.
