Paul McCartney honoured by President Barack Obama
President Obama jokes with Paul McCartney at glittering White House reception

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.
