LONDON - Former Beatle Paul McCartney married for the third time on Sunday, tying the knot with New York heiress Nancy Shevell at the same London venue where he married his first wife.

Shevell ensured it was a family affair by wearing a long-sleeved, knee-length white dress designed by Stella McCartney, Paul's fashion designer daughter.

The couple were showered with flower confetti by a small group of friends and family after the civil ceremony at Westminster Register Office.

The town hall was where McCartney married his first wife, Linda, in 1969.

She died in 1998 after losing her battle with breast cancer.

The low-key ceremony, which was followed by a party at McCartney's north London home, was a stark contrast with his lavish second wedding to former model Heather Mills in 2002, when 300 guests filled a castle in Ireland.
