Sir Paul McCartney and American heiress Nancy Shevell have arrived at a London register officer for their wedding ceremony.

The couple waved to waiting fans as they entered Westminster Register Office shortly before 3.30pm.
Crowds cheered as McCartney, dressed in a suit and tie, and Ms Shevell, in an ivory-coloured dress, walked in the building.
Sky's Simon Newton, reporting from outside the venue, said that Ms Shevell was wearing a dress designed by the musician's daughter Stella.
Former Beatle band mate Ringo Starr gave a peace sign to fans as he arrived for the civil ceremony.
Starr held the hand of wife Barbara Bach as they walked towards the register office.
It is believed that only around 30 family and close friends have been invited to the wedding.

Afterwards a reception is to be held at Sir Paul's house in nearby St John's Wood.
Sky News understands there will be around 135 guests at the reception.
On Saturday, hundreds of pale pink and yellow roses were taken into a marquee that had been erected in the garden.
Sir Paul's marriage to his first wife Linda ended when she died of cancer in 1998. They were married at the same venue as today's ceremony.

He then wed ex-model Heather Mills in a lavish ceremony at Ireland's Castle Leslie, but they split up and the marriage ended in 2008 in an acrimonious divorce.
After a four-year romance Sir Paul became engaged to Ms Shevell, who was previously married to New York lawyer Bruce Blakeman, earlier this year.
