Paul McCartney had large family Christmas at his Sussex estate, Peasmarsh, but while three year old daughter Beatrice was there, her mum, Paul’s estranged wife Heather Mills didn’t get an invite.

Paul’s older children - James, Stella and Mary - arrived on Christmas Eve with their own families and Paul’s step-daughter from his marriage to Linda McCartney, Heather, also attended along with Paul’s brother Mike and his family.

An inside source revealed: “It looks as if everyone except Heather has been invited. But it is hardly surprising she has been frozen out.”

“Sir Paul had reunions at Peasmarsh when Linda was here but Heather stopped those. The staff are overjoyed, it is like the good old days.”

Heather had been spotted in nearby Rye earlier in the week and reportedly spent Christmas in the town before collecting Beatrice from Paul on Boxing Day.
