Former Beatles Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reunited last night at a charity gig in New York. The duo appeared at the event in aid of filmmaker David Lynch's charity which promotes and encourages transcendental meditation for young people.
Approaching the end of his solo set, Sir Paul introduced Starr to the audience as "Billy Shears", Ringo's pseudonym from the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, before the two remaining Beatles gave a rendition of With A Little Help From My Friends. It was the first time the two had performed together since a concert in memory of George Harrison in 2002.
A tearful McCartney then paid tribute to the late John Lennon before dedicating Here Today, a song he wrote for the late Beatle. He also later dedicated Blackbird to US President Barack Obama.
