Sir Paul McCartney delivered a bravura 38-song performance in his home city of Liverpool on Wednesday. But the verve of the performance was all the more remarkable given a break-in at Macca’s £10m home in London.
‘There were blue flashing lights and police everywhere — four or five cars,’ a local tells me. ‘All the lights were on in the house. The police were all over it.’
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirms that officers responded to a break-in at 6.20pm last Friday. ‘We attended and identified signs of forced entry,’ he tells me.
His spokesman declines to say whether Sir Paul or his third wife, Nancy Shevell, (pictured together) were in London at the time the intruders struck
Sir Paul, 76, had performed in Austrian capital Vienna the night before.
His spokesman declines to say whether Sir Paul or his third wife, Nancy Shevell, were in London at the time the intruders struck. But the incident will inevitably be a cause for concern to McCartney, who, say locals, does his utmost to live a normal life in London. ‘He walks around without a bodyguard, chats with people, walks in the park,’ says one. ‘But he does get people hanging around.
‘The house has got cameras all over it, so I don’t know how they got in. It must be worrying. After what happened to John Lennon, you’ve got to be pretty bloody careful.’
Macca’s security scare occurred almost 38 years to the day that Lennon was murdered in New York.
The Metropolitan Police say that no arrests have been made and their inquiries continue.
Dahl's last tale of the unexpected as medals turn up 73 years on
Roald Dahl’s widow could not have wished for a better present. After months of investigation by the storyteller’s family to track down his missing war medals, they turned up on the day of her 80th birthday.
The Tales Of The Unexpected author, who died in 1990 aged 74, served with the RAF during World War II, narrowly escaping death when he crash-landed his fighter plane in the Libyan desert.
His family were always curious why he never collected his medals and set about trying to retrieve them.
All four gongs (pictured) were campaign medals including the 1939-45 Star; the Africa Star, a Defence Medal, and The War Medal
After submitting his service records six months ago, they suddenly arrived in the post from the MoD. Dahl’s widow Felicity, known as Liccy, who married Dahl seven years before he died, had told friends that she didn’t want any gifts for her birthday.
But when Dahl’s grandson Ned Donovan presented the medals to her at her party on Wednesday she was overjoyed, confiding that she would sleep with them under her pillow.

‘Seventy-three years late and 28 years after his death, my grand-father’s World War II medals arrived in the post from the MoD,’ says Ned.
‘A monumental bash on the head’ was how Roald Dahl described his crash in the Western Desert, claiming that it directly led to his becoming a great storyteller.
His first published piece of writing was a semi-fictionalised account of the crash, and according to his biographer Donald Sturrock, ‘he suspected that the brain injuries which he received there had materially altered his personality and inclined him to creative writing’.
It is thought Dahl wasn’t automatically issued with the medals and would have needed to apply for them.
Ned said it was typical of his grandfather not to have picked them up. ‘It’s very him for him not to have collected his medals — he’d have thought it terribly uncool.’
There was no flashy send-off for David Dimbleby after leaving his chair for the last time yesterday as host of Question Time.
‘It will be a low-key affair with production staff,’ a BBC spokesman told me of the farewell shindig arranged for the 80-year-old presenter.

Dimbleby, who has acquired the most eclectic collection of ties during his 25 years chairing the current affairs programme, insists that he is not leaving our screens for good but ‘returning to my first love: reporting’.

TV chef Jamie Oliver has been accused of sending out conflicting signals for promoting a ‘gas guzzling’ vehicle, despite pledging to ditch meat several days a week for the sake of the environment.
The 43-year-old has shared a video with his 6.8 million fans on Instagram of his new advert with Land Rover, in which he can be seen driving their £45,000 Evoque model in London to pick up groceries. One of his disgruntled critics moans: ‘I cannot believe you are doing this.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
