The Paul McCartney Picture Thread

Always felt sad for Cynthia and Julian, when John took up with Yoko. Paul, George and Ringo had known Cynthia for a long time, she and Julian were part of the Beatles family, so can understand how Paul would have been concerned for them... especially when Paul, George and Ringo weren't as close to Yoko, even though they wanted to be supportive of John as a friend.
This is changing the subject, but found this photo on Instagram of Paul with his brother Mike, whose birthday was last Sunday. Always thought in the McCartney family that Paul resembles his father quite a bit, while Mike seems to resemble their mother Mary. (Photo credit: pipesof.paul on instagram)
I always thought it was the other way around, that Paul (and HIS daughter Mary) resembles his mom and Mike looked more like their dad.

Another pose from that day of Paul and Mike:

Mike went gray/silver early!

I think Paul looks so much like his father in this photo. Paul's daughter Mary resembles Paul quite a bit, but I can see so much of Linda in her too!

^Wow, yeah, he does look like him in that photo (never saw that one before!)
It’s rare to see Paul with stubble in the mid-60s:
-
Circa Dec. 1973

Yeah, thought you'd enjoy seeing that photo of Paul with his father. He probably had a great sense of humor and was a real gentleman, too, just like Paul!
Here's another beard stubble photo... not sure what year it was taken, probably after he met Linda?

Love the Paul and Linda family photo! There isn't a single person in that photo that doesn't look adorable, lol
Have you seen this photo of Paul and Stella? Thought it was a really nice photo of them both. It was taken in Brooklyn before one of his shows (not one of the most recent ones there), and published at nbcnews.com. She seems to favor Linda as far as hair color and eyes, but is a perfect blend of both her parents.

Not 1967 (after they met) but fall (Sept) of 1968 after she came to London to visit. Pic is already reduced as I type this, but will it stay small?

This was a bit later in the fall of 1968 when his beard had grown out nicely!
-
Thanks for the great beard pics!
I figured the one I posted was around the time he and Linda got together.
Oobu, when scrolling back was wondering if the photo below, that you posted, was taken when fans tried to break through a glass window, during the tour of 1964? (Could have happened on their next tour as well, lol) Larry Kane, the journalist that traveled with the Beatles, mentioned that a fan broke a window and stuck her hand through it and grabbed at him, as she was trying to grab a Beatle! Not sure if this window was from the same time. Interesting photo though!
Not sure if Paul looks like he can't believe it... or is scared... maybe a little of both, lol

No idea about the photo but to me it looks like the Hard Days Night train.

Thanks, Oobu! I found another photo on Pinterest, the caption said it was a backstage photo from the set of "A Hard Day's Night." Maybe it was a scene that ended up on the cutting room floor. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/424675439841334793/
