His two favourite ladies: Sir Paul McCartney celebrates daughter Beatrice's ninth birthday with wife Nancy Shevell

He has five children in total but clearly hasn't grown tired of playing the doting father to his youngest.

Sir Paul McCartney treated his daughter Beatrice to an intimate birthday party with some of her friends in New York City, on Wednesday evening.

The legendary guitarist made a family affair of the celebration and took his wife Nancy Shevell along for the party too.

All together now: Nancy Shevell was in attendance at the party which was held at Serafina restaurant

Sir Paul, 70, held the bash at Serafina restaurant, and was seen leaving the venue with a handful of gifts and cards for little Beatrice.

Beatrice, eight, doesn't turn nine until Sunday, but Sir Paul and Nancy threw her the special party early, without her mother Heather Mills being present.

Sir Paul knows his way around a guitar but was struggling to carry all of his daughter's gifts as he got into their car.

The Live And Let Die singer found it hard enough to get the bag of goodies on his lap, but once Beatrice got her balloons in the backseat it became even more difficult.

With Sir Paul ducking down as big silver balloons floated above his head, Nancy was seated more comfortably next to him with more than enough space.

While the birthday girl had her hair in pig tails, McCartney looked like any other parent in a pair of jeans with a plain dark blue jacket on.
It is a wonder that the Yesterday songwriter still finds time to spend with his children as he is currently busy working on two music albums.

Long way home: Sir Paul and Nancy left with his daughter in the backseat surrounded by her gifts

Music producer Ethan Johns, who has worked with Kings of Leon, told NME that he has been in the studio with the legendary musician.

He said: 'It's sounding great. He's still one of the most extraordinary recording talents.

'There's a song on the record called 'Hosanna' which is absolutely heartbreaking - just Paul and an acoustic guitar. It's gorgeous.'

Johns added: 'I'm not sure what [the plan] is. I'm simply a guy in his phone book he calls up every now and again and asks if I want to do something. And you don't say no to McCartney.'
