in a lengthy Facebook posting on Friday. He also shared some photos from their various meetings.
McCartney, 80, met the queen “eight or nine times” and also was the songwriter on the The Beatles’ 26-second love song ““When I was 10 years old I entered an essay competition in Liverpool and won my division for my essay about the British Monarchy, so I have been a fan for a long time,” he wrote on Facebook.The first time the two met was in 1065, when The Beatles were awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
“I remember us being taken aside and shown what the correct protocol was. We were told how to approach Her Majesty and not to talk to her unless she talks to us. For four Liverpool lads, it was, ‘Wow, hey man.’”“It was at an event [late wife] Linda [McCartney] and I attended called An Evening for Conservation. Part of the evening included some orchestral re-workings of some Beatles songs and I remember chatting with Her Majesty about them.
A decade and a half later, “The Queen graciously agreed to open the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts on the site of my old school that George Harrison and myself attended,” McCartney said. A year later, the queen knighted Sir Paul, which he said was a “very proud day for me” and “one of the best days ever.”“I felt very honoured to be offered a Knighthood and of course it would have been rude to turn it down! I remember it was in the springtime and the skies were blue.
