@eeee-cor-blimey Thanks for the info, but are you sure that is Paris? I thought that was during the 1998 memorial in London for Linda at St. Martin’s, but I’m probably confused (as usual!)

No it was definitely Paris in 98 a few months after Linda's death, a newspaper over here at the time did a big spread of some paparazzi pics of the two of them having a trip away.death

The pics of James at Linda's st Martin's memorial he's wearing a black suit jacket and white shirt I think.

Edit to add pic of arriving at the memorial

James used to be rather thin! You can see his chest hair here. This was before his mom died in 1998. Not sure, but maybe 1996 or 1997.

No it was from 2007, it was the first big public appearance James had made - he had kept below the radar down in Brighton not speaking to the family much during Paul's marriage to Heather, and once they were over, he made up - and this is at the opening of Stella's husbands place -"Dhani Harrison and James McCartney attend the gallery opening party of Established and Sons, at Established and Sons on October 11, 2007", i remember how exciting it was to finally see up to date pics of James! The ones of him in Paris with Paul after Linda died he had hair tied up.

Here's another from 2007 -

Boy we are really off topic.

No one is off topic in this thread as long as they include a photo of Paul with their post(s)

There were no Paul pictures when we were talking about veggies & also sick relatives.

Aww sorry

Technically i had quoted and therefore reposted the julian Paul pic and talked about it, and then in the same post mentioned my mum cos it was 2am and i was so depressed i genuinely could've gone out the window. I tried to distract myself, and then thought of my son and why it's worth sitll being here. And then thought of posting a pic of him in his Beatles top, being Paul. All while trying to cheer myself up and sound happy.

But the first of those 2 posts had a Paul pic in.

Won't do it again!

(in fact, here's a Paul pic)

And on that positive note I should try and get to sleep, it's 3am!

@oobu24 said in The Paul McCartney Picture Thread:

@eeee-cor-blimey Oh my gosh! He sure has grown up from last time I saw pics of him. Very cute! Especially with all the instruments.

Aww thank you! He's a proper little rocker! I hope he will actually be willing to learn/play for real at some point, but he's only just turned 6 so there's time yet! He loves to strum, plink, and bang along though! I'm just so proud of him, how he's grown and what he's overcome, and that he loves Paul.
I did embarrass him at the school gates last week though, he wore the suit on the "wear your own clothes day", loads went as Spider-Man but he wanted to be Paul. But, he looked very embarrassed when I told the teacher he'd met him! I can't help it though - I'll tell anyone!!

@njr Thanks for posting the pic here. Do you know where they are?

A few articles over here say it was Cliveden house, which is of course where they filmed the exterior Buckingham Palace scenes in Help!

I wonder if he remembered the famously told relay race The Beatles and the crew did along that giant garden behind him in between takes? Can't remember where, maybe the anthology, but they were all high and said it was the best fun of the filming!

Paul looks lovely! Without sounding mean i wonder if he touched the picture up a little before posting, as on Julian's picture you can really see his age spots - and nowt wrong with those it was just the first time i've really noticed the little blemishes on his skin that my 79 year old mum also has!

The spots he has are around his eyes and since he has sunglasses on they are hidden. They can be clearly seen in other pics. See here:

I do see a few on his right cheek in the b&w photo, so maybe the color one was airbrushed!

His forehead and his hand have more than I've usually noticed too though. But if Julian whacks the contrast up on his black and white pics that may have made them look more noticeable.

Doesn't matter, still love him! Nothing wrong with getting old - it's far better than the alternative of never getting old!

Having a gloomy time at home dealing with my mum's health and her confusion.. Plus me, my partner, and our son all have bad flu so I can't get round there to help her... But she snaps at me anyway.. I love my mum, she put the phone down on me at 1am when I rang to check on her and found that not only does she believe it's only early evening but she's in the garden seeing to the bins - in the middle of the night, alone. She cut me off as interfering and that she can do what she likes... I'm thoroughly depressed about it all. She's my best friend. she can barely walk, hiusebound, and this time mix up she's done for months in bits but constantly for 2 weeks now really hurts.... The worry... But she snaps and treats me So badly for carinf, I know it's her mind and she can't help it, I saw it with my gran when I was little, but I'm struggling to cope with the upset it leaves me wuth, while having my own illnesses still with hospitals and trying to give my son a happy childhood.... So I've been hiding from my feelings by posting on here a bit more. Maybe I'll post some of my son sometime again. But not in thread!
This is totally the wrong post for this thread! I'll go now! Yes up But my love for Paul has been for 38 years now and I couldn't have got here without it.

Edit to add this as I'm that fed up here's a triple pic of my son from this year being a Beatle ;)I
I'm normally very private, but want to show him just this once in here.
A bit blurred as it's all I have in this tablet as it's a screenshot of a calendar page - I made my mum a 2023 calendar full of pics of her only grandchild...
He was at Beatles story in Feb this year on the drums, in what he calls his Beatles suit being Paul with his yellow sub uke at home in the summer, and in the Beatles story cafe piano in august.

Wrong thread, I know, pls don't tell me off, I won't do it again....

I posted that exact same link last night!
I guess the new forum is hard to scroll to spot things!

@eeee-cor-blimey Thanks for clearing that up!

@wandy said in George Harrison and Eric Clapton Japan:

@njr I distinctly remember George saying Eric Clapton loaned George his band ( George never had a band of his own at that point ) maybe that's where the confusion lies. I know for sure no Eric Clapton played onstage with George when I saw him at the RAH in London. I wouldnt forget a thing of that epic proportions.

I'm so envious you saw him in 92! That albert hall show though was a separate entity than the 91 Japan shows - it was the 1992 General election in the UK and that one off show was to raise money and publicity for the natural law party, they had a candidate in every seat and were a meditation group who believed in "yogic flying"! George was in all the national news that week plugging them, but the fact it gave everyone a British George concert was the main excitement!
So I think that was why he used the same musicians but not eric. I was so jealous at the time. Well done for going
