Paul McCartney cheered on in Liverpool

Sir Paul McCartney's new girlfriend cheered on the star at his homecoming show yesterday (01.06.08).

Multi-millionaire heiress Nancy Shevell watched Paul perform his 'Liverpool Sound' concert at Liverpool soccer club's Anfield Stadium.

Nancy cheered on The Beatles legend as she stood with his children Mary, 38, Stella, 36 and James, 30.

Paul, 65, also took Nancy on a tour of his beloved city and introduced her to some of his family and friends, including his brother Mike, John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono and George Harrison's widow Olivia Harrison.

A source said: "This is a huge step for Paul to take. Introducing Nancy to his hometown, showing her around all the places he grew up and meeting the people he loves the most is a big sign of his commitment to her."

The pair made their first public appearance together last week when Paul was awarded an honorary doctorate in music from Connecticut's Yale University.

The couple's public debut came just two weeks after Paul's divorce from Heather Mills was finalised after a bitter 18-month battle.
