Elton John's Birthday Party

Sir Paul McCartney, in white tie and tails, took to the dancefloor with a succession of women and gave every impression of having the time of his life.

Sir Paul, 64, flung a series of dance partners around with apparent abandon.

A fellow reveller said: "With the swing band playing, he hardly stepped off the dancefloor all night.

"He was never alone and had different women clamouring to dance with him. He was in great spirits and it all added up to a fantastic evening.
