BEHIND THE GROOVES: a music blog by Jeff Harris
Lifelong fans of The Beatles and particularly Paul and Linda and members of the Official Fan Club of Wings back in the early 70's. We adored Linda as much as we hailed Macca as the musical genius he truly is . . . . . . . I have said more on the abiding closeness of Paul to Linda's daughter Heather and what a wonderful Dad I imagine him to be so I add more pictures to support this lovely thesis (hah! sic) below these that Jeff posted
On this day in music history: March 12, 1969 - Beatle Paul McCartney marries American photographer Linda Eastman at the Marylebone Register Office in Westminster, London. The ceremony is attended by Linda’s daughter Heather (from her first marriage), Paul’s brother Michael and Beatles roadie Mal Evans who also act as the bridesmaid, best man, and witness respectfully. What was to be a quiet civil ceremony ends up being leaked to the press, and the couple are greeted by cameras and huge crowds of weeping girls when they emerge from the office. The McCartneys have three children (Mary Anna (born August 28, 1969), Stella Nina (born September 13, 1971), and James Louis (born September 12, 1977). Paul and Linda remain happily married for twenty nine years until her death from breast cancer on April 17, 1998.
Can you spot Mal and Mike McGear [McCartney] in the melee ?
Married life . . . . . .
