Paul McCartney was the special guest at the White House last night at a reception by President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle ahead of the Kennedy Center honours.
McCartney - and other guests including Oprah Winfrey - were in Washington to receive the prestigious awards recognizing lifetimes of work in music, theater and television.

Obama also declared it the "thrill of a lifetime" that McCartney had sung the Beatles song 'Michelle' to first lady Michelle Obama at the summer reception.
