Pals delight for Macca and Mills' baby joy
Friends and fans of Paul McCartney were today delighted to hear he was to become a father again.
Gerry Marsden, lead singer of Merseybeat band Gerry and the Pacemakers, said: “It’s absolutely wonderful news. I’m so pleased for Paul and at his age as well.
“It’s good to see there is life in the old dog yet. He’ll make a great father.”
The Beatles’ first manager Allan Williams said: “Good luck to the man. He’s proved himself as a great father and I think that’s because he has never forgotten his working class roots.
“He was brought up sensibly by his father and he does the same with his children. I think its great.”
Sam Leach, who promoted The Beatles in the early 1960s, said: “I’m made up for Paul and Heather.
“Paul’s children are a credit to him. It would have been so easy for him to spoil them rotten but he made sure they were down-to-earth and they are their own people.
“I’m sure he and Heather will bring their new kid up in the same way. Congratulations to them.”
John James Chambers, president of the Liverpool Beatles Appreciation Society, said: “He didn’t waste much time, did he.
“It’s fantastic news and I wish them both the very best.
“If it’s a boy, it would be wonderful if he names him after John Lennon, as they were best of friends back in the day.
“If it’s a girl, maybe he can call her Michelle, after the Beatles song.”
