Man and wife: Sir Paul McCartney and his new wife Nancy Shevell wed in an intimate ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall today

While she might have looked excited on the way to wed Sir Paul McCartney, Nancy Shevell emerged holding hands with her new husband displaying a look of pure delight.

As she left Marylebone Register Office as Lady McCartney, Nancy couldn't keep the smile off her face as she beamed alongside Paul.

The couple were greeted on the steps of the building by friends and family who covered the newlyweds in rose petals.

And the Beatles singer and songwriter looked equally as ecstatic as they waved to the crowds of fans and well wishers.

The pair got into a car with Paul's daughter Beatrice who had acted as bridesmaid and made their way to their North London home for the reception.

Sir Paul and Nancy, 51, became husband and wife in front of just 30 guests at Marylebone Register Office.

Sir Paul is set to perform a new song as a gift to his new wife at his wedding reception at their home later today.

The former Beatle will unveil the song at the reception on what would have been John Lennon's 71st birthday.

He will also sing ­the iconic Let It Be, which he wrote for the Beatles, and Let Me Roll It, which he wrote for his band Paul McCartney & Wings, reported the Daily Record.

He apparently sang Let It Be to Nancy during one of their first holidays together in Morocco three years ago.

The second song was picked because it is American heiress Nancy’s favourite and contains the lyric: 'You gave me loving in the palm of my hand.'
