SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY,

80, has been having a splashing time at his house in the Hamptons this week with family including daughter Beatrice. Macca’s had a house there for decades, and it is a favourite destination for ‘R ’n’R’ when he isn’t performing.

What’s less well known is that the former Beatle has a die-hard group of friends in the area with whom he works out. Known as the ‘yoga boys’, their number includes the actor Alec Baldwin, 64, and rock singer Jon Bon Jovi, 60.
