Daddy's little girl

I thought Stella McCartney might be feeling nostalgic when I opened the invitation to her show, and it had children's alphabet magnets spelling out "Stella" on the front.

Her dad Paul McCartney has been to lots of her shows, sitting front row snapping pics on his camera phone, and tapping his foot to whatever crazy pop/hip-hop music mashup is rocking the runway.

But I have never heard her use a single Beatles song.

So what a surprise it was at the end of Thursday's show when the blare softened into "Blackbird singing in the dead of night/Take these broken wings and learn to fly/We were only waiting for this moment to arrive."

McCartney seemed surprised too. And when his seatmate Twiggy reached over to pat him on the back, well, it was impossible not to get teary eyed...
