ON March 12, 1969, Beatle Paul McCartney married Linda Eastman in a civil ceremony at London’s Marylebone Register Office. The flower girl was Miss Eastman’s six-year-old daughter, Heather, from a previous marriage.
Paul McCartney, of the Beatles, tells newsmen of his plans to marry American divorcee Linda Eastman, as a young fan looks on outside his home in London on March 11, 1969.
The BBC:
Miss Eastman, 27, was wearing a daffodil yellow coat over a fawn dress, while 26-year-old Mr McCartney was sporting a matching yellow tie. The ceremony was delayed because the best man, Mr McCartney’s brother Mike McGear of the Scaffold pop group, arrived late.
Mike McGear, brother of Sir Paul McCarney, at Wemyss Bay, Scotland, en route to the Isle of Bute. Speculation was growing about the imminent wedding of Stella McCartney today as possible guests began arriving on the island. Locals believe McCartney, 31, the daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul, will celebrate her wedding tomorrow. It is still unclear if she will marry fiance Alasdhair Willis, also 31, at a Victorian house owned by close family friend Johnny Bute, the seventh Marquis of Bute, or just hold the reception there.
