Ringo’s little star!

Paul’s stepdaught­er, 6, shows him how to keep the beat in intimate new footage

IT was the day Ringo Starr got by with help from a little friend – Paul McCartney’s stepdaught­er Heather.

The six-year-old gleefully picked up the drumsticks as The Beatles practised in the studio in January 1969.

Footage of the moment appears in a four-minute trailer for the six-hour documentar­y Get Back, compiled from footage locked away in a vault for more than half a century.

Heather, daughter of McCartney’s bride-to-be Linda, is also seen singing with John Lennon. The three-part documentar­y uses material shot for the 1970 film Let It Be and includes The Beatles’ final live performanc­e together – the rooftop concert at their Apple HQ in Savile Row, London.

It will be shown on Disney+ across three days next month.
