Sir Paul McCartney admits he's a 'proud' dad after daughter Mary photographs the Queen
Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney admitted he was one 'proud' dad today after his daughter Mary was commissioned to take the official portrait of the Queen to celebrate her becoming Britain's longest reigning monarch.
Like any modern day parent, the 73-year-old star took to social media to express his delight over his daughter's amazing achievement. Writing on Twitter, Paul gushed: "Very proud of @maryamccartney What a way for me to celebrate the Queen’s achievement. God bless us all #longestreign."
The McCartney family have often been called upon to celebrate the Queen's time on the throne, with Sir Paul performing at both the Golden and Diamond jubilee pop concerts.
Today Queen Elizabeth became the longest reigning monarch in British history.
She has surpassed her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria's record on the throne and has reigned for more than 23,226 days, 16 hours and 30 minutes. The monarch, however, remained modest and matter of fact about the achievement.
Although she thanked the nation for their kind messages as she opened the Borders Railway in Tweedbank on the landmark day, she admitted that the milestone was "not one to which I have ever aspired".
