BRITAIN: Paul McCartney is a father again at the age of 61 after his second wife, Heather Mills, gave birth to their first child, a 7 lb baby girl, born three weeks early by Caesarean section.

"Both she and Mum are doing well. Paul and Heather are ecstatic with the news," said a statement yesterday from the couple after the birth of Beatrice Milly. "She is a little beauty and we couldn't be prouder."

The model turned charity campaigner, who married the former Beatle in Castle Leslie, Co Monaghan in June last year, gave birth on Tuesday at a London hospital near the Abbey Road studios.

The proud parents said their daughter was named after Heather's mother Beatrice and Paul's Aunt Milly.  - (Reuters)
