Sir Paul’s wedding plans seem set to go full circle

Sir Paul McCartney could marry for a third time at the same place where he tied the knot with his first wife Linda.

The music legend has posted banns at Marylebone Register Office, scene of his low-key wedding in 1969 which left female Beatles fans around the world heartbroken.

Sir Paul, 69, became engaged to the wealthy New York heiress Nancy Shevell earlier this year.

Couples are required to give 16 days notice of marriage, which means they could marry from early next month.

The pair began dating four years ago in the upmarket Hamptons area of Long Island, New York, and she moved into his London home this month.

Millionaire musician Sir Paul lost his first wife Linda in 1998 when she died of cancer.

He went on to marry former model Heather Mills, a union that ended in an acrimonious courtroom battle when they divorced in 2008.

The document lodged at the venue – officially known as Westminster Register Office – lists the musician under his full name, James Paul McCartney, and describes him as a “business executive”. Sir Paul’s daughter Mary used the venue for her wedding last year.

Ms Shevell, previously married for more than 20 years to lawyer Bruce Blakeman, sits on the board of New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority. She is said to get on well with her fiancé’s children.
