Paul McCartney has married his fiancée Nancy Shevell in London.
The Beatles musician tied the knot with the US heiress this afternoon (October 9) at the Old Marylebone Town Hall, which was surrounded by an excitable crowd of hundreds of well-wishers.
Shevell wore an ivory wedding gown designed by her new husband's daughter Stella McCartney, while the 69-year-old was dressed in a dark suit coupled with a simple blue tie.
His younger brother Mike reportedly served as best man and his young daughter Beatrice was the flower girl. McCartney's Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr is said to have attended the ceremony.
The couple, who became engaged in May, are expected to hold a low key reception at their home in St John's Wood.
McCartney married his first wife Linda at the same venue in 1969. Their union came to an end upon her death from breast cancer in 1998.
He went on to marry Heather Mills in 2002, but the couple divorced six years later.
McCartney's wedding to Shevell took place on what would have been the 71st birthday of his professional partner John Lennon.
