James maintained a low-key appearance as dressed down in a navy blue t-shirt which he teamed with a dark grey jacket and sported comfortable trainers.

The musician has largely shunned the limelight but did follow in his famous dad's footsteps by pursuing music.

He released his debut single Available Light in 2010 before releasing his first album Me in 2013 and his second, The Blackberry Train, in 2016 – both co-produced by his father.

James is the younger brother of Mary McCartney, 52, and Stella McCartney, 50, and is the only son of Sir Paul, 80, and his late wife Linda.

James previously said he had aimed to be "better than the Beatles".

"When I got to a certain age, I realised that I was somewhat better than other kids at school at guitar and took pride and enjoyment in that," he told the BBC in 2012. "I then dreamt of being better than The Beatles. I'm not sure if I can do that. If anything, I would love to be equal to The Beatles - but even that's quite tough."
