Sir Paul moves New York fans to tears

SIR PAUL McCARTNEY smiled and laughed yesterday as he met adoring fans in New York.

The former Beatle took a break from his bitter divorce from estranged wife Heather to sign copies of his composition Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart).

His most devoted followers began queuing two days ago outside the Virgin Megastore in Times Square for the chance to meet their idol.

Many gripped his hands as he spoke to them and emerged in tears, overwhelmed with emotion.

Afterwards they said they had avoided asking the star about the breakdown of his marriage.
