Sir Paul McCartney celebrated his 82nd birthday at a Kent restaurant.

The Beatles legend visited the Boys Hall restaurant in Willesborough, Ashford on Tuesday to celebrate the special occasion.

He was spotted at the fancy 17th-century eatery by shocked diners.

His wife Nancy, who he married in 2011, and his five children also attended.

An onlooker told The Sun: “Paul and his family booked a private room.

“They were quietly ushered in on Tuesday night and were taken to the Drawing Room, where the chefs cooked a three-course feast for them.

"It was super low-key, just Paul and his closest family members.

“He looked really happy and seemed to be enjoying a quieter celebration.

“They left just after 10.30pm.”

Sir Paul is father to Mary, 54, Stella, 52, and James, 46, with his late wife Linda.

He also adopted Linda's daughter Heather, 61, who she had before their marriage.

The musician also shares Beatrice, 20, with his ex-wife Heather Mills.

It is not the first time Sir Paul has been spotted in Ashford.

The music icon visited Cineworld in 2016 to catch the third instalment of the Kung Fu Panda series.

Sir Paul announced four new UK tour dates on Monday.
