Ms Shevell, 51, from New York, is an heiress to a haulage fortune.



She is Sir Paul's third wife after Linda McCartney died in 1998 and he split from second wife Heather Mills during an acrimonious divorce in 2008.



Ms Shevell wore a white, long-sleeved dress and held a bouquet of roses, while the former Beatle wore a dark suit with a white shirt and pale blue tie for the occasion.

Ringo Starr was a high-profile guest at the ceremony



Sir Paul's wedding in pictures

Hundreds of fans gathered outside the central London register office to see the couple arrive and depart from their wedding ceremony, and barricades were erected.



A considerable presence of journalists and photographers also waited for several hours before the newlyweds finally emerged.



The wedding party spent more than an hour inside the venue before emerging on the steps of the building.



The couple then returned to their home in St John's Wood for a reception with family and close friends.



When asked how he felt after tying the knot for a third time, Sir Paul told waiting reporters: "Terrific, thank you. I feel married," adding, "I feel absolutely wonderful."



'Going to last'



Earlier this month Ms Shevell moved in with Sir Paul at his London home.



Ms Shevell, who was married for 20 years to American lawyer and political candidate Bruce Blakeman, became engaged to Sir Paul in May.



The couple began dating four years ago in the upmarket Hamptons area of Long Island.



Life-long Beatles fan Chiara Amato said she had sat outside the register office every day since September 29 in anticipation of the couple's wedding.



She said: "This marriage is going to last. She seems to be really nice and deeply in love with him. I have been listening to The Beatles since I was six-years-old. I have been to see Sir Paul in concert 27 times."

Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman leave Marylebone Town Hall after getting married in 1969 Sir Paul's eldest daughter, Mary, also married at the register office last year.



Ms Shevell is a board member of New York's transportation authority and vice-president of her family haulage firm.



But the wedding is expected to mean an end to her work in the family business and her leaving her position on the board of the transportation body.



Ms Shevell told the New York Post she would "love" the couple to live in the US but she would "probably" move to England after the wedding.

History of Vintage Movie Posters

History of Vintage Movie Posters

Original vintage movie posters and movie memorabilia have become increasingly desirable by collectors over the past 25 years. Most people don't realize vintage movie posters are available to the general public . They were only to be loaned to theatre owners and then returned thereafter thereby never produced for the collector market. Vintage movie posters even have a studio notation on the bottom stating “Property of National Screen Service Licensed for Display Purposed Only, Must Be Returned”. Before the monopolization of the movie theatre industry, movie posters were also used throughout the community to promote upcoming films. The barber shop, drug store and local hardware store displayed movie poster “inserts” and “window cards”. Today, only the “one sheet” movie poster is produced and displayed in the theatre lobbies.







In 1933, one of the darkest years of the Great Depression, a theater owner might receive a 15-cent credit for returning a movie poster to his regional exchange. Compare this figure with the cost of a gallon of gas (18 cents) or a loaf of bread (12 cents) and it’s easy to understand why very few movie posters survived from this period. If the austerity of the times and the frugality of theater owners was not enough to keep movie posters out of the hands of the general public, the sweeping paper drives of the war years also did their part to help keep movie memorabilia out of general circulation. So it’s no surprise that movie posters from the years of 1930 through 1945 are quite scarce.






In fact, it is estimated that fewer than 20 copies of movie posters exist from most films made during the period of 1930 through 1945. For many landmark films of the era (e.g., "Frankenstein", "Dracula",“The Grapes of Wrath”, “Casablanca", “The Wizard of Oz”, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, “Flash Gordon”) it is believed that less than a dozen examples have survived of any particular poster.






Over the years original vintage movie posters have been produced in various shapes and sizes. Before the 1980’s and the demise of the small town movie theatres (as a result of the monopolization of the industry by companies like Showcase cinemas) also meant the extinction of all the breath-taking movie posters such as the lobby cards, window cards, insert, half sheets and the traffic-stopping 3, 6 and 24 sheets. The primary movie poster that survives today is the standard one sheet. Below is a glossary of the most popular vintage movie posters that once played a major role in the promotion and exhilarating anticipation of upcoming movie events.






One Sheets & Half Sheet Movie Posters:






These have always been the primary advertising posters used by theatres since the early 1900’s. The one sheet (27x41”) is still used today in the lobbies of the major movie theatres. However, the half sheets (22x28”) became extinct around 1980. Vintage one sheets of major classics from pre 1960 are highly sought after by collectors sometimes paying over $1,000,000 for such gems as Frankenstein or Metropolis.










Three and Six Sheet Movie Posters:


The Three and Sheet movie posters were the “traffic stopping” posters that often were displayed in major venues like Time Square or Los Angeles. The 3 sheet size is 41x81” and the 6 sheet is 81x81” making them larger than life size. In my area I notice that even some showcase cinemas have vintage six sheets displayed in their lobby. These larger than life posters are highly desirable in particular for the superior artwork of certain posters. They are also much rarer than the standard one sheet because very few were made. And, because of their large size, survival from handling damage is rare. To see examples of these spectacular poster see our Larger Than Life 3 and 6 Sheet Collection Page






Lobby Card Movie Posters:






Lobby cards were used in U.S. theaters prior to the late 1970’s. They are rarely produced for today’s films. These small movie posters (11”x14”) printed on card stock were generally produced in sets of eight. These mini movie posters were designed for display in a theater’s lobby for the purpose of luring movie goers into the theater by showing highlights from the movie. A lobby card set entailed one Title Card (TC), a lobby card of usually designed similar to the one sheet with credits and feature/close-up artwork of the major stars, and seven Scene Cards (SC), each depicting a different scene from the movie. Original vintage lobby cards are highly collectible today because they often depict the most memorable scenes in the movie which were not captured on the other style posters. In addition, lobby cards are the perfect size for framing and display.






Window Card and Insert Movie Posters:






Highly collectible vintage movie posters today also include Widow Cards (14x22”) and Inserts (14x36”). These movie poster styles were primarily used to promote the movie in local businesses, such as the drug store and local barber shop. As with lobby cards these movie posters are very desirable due to their superior vintage graphics and artwork. Modern day posters generated by computer have lost their artistic value as compared to the vintage movie posters created by highly skilled artists.






Linen Backing your Vintage Movie Posters:






Linen backing is a process of restoring and/or maintaining a vintage movie poster’s life. The movie poster is laid onto a cloth like acid-free material that actually helps preserve the older NON Acid free movie poster paper that would otherwise become very brittle and eventually deteriorate. Also, by laying movie posters onto acid free linen it removes the flaws including the fold lines which all vintage movie posters have. It also allows for restoration of any holes, tears or small missing pieces. It is one of the few collectible restoration processes that actually adds value to the poster. All of the most expensive posters, such as the million dollar “Mummy” have been professionally linen backed. If you have ever seen the difference between an un-linen backed and a linen backed poster, there is no comparison. Linen backed posters are simply beautiful.
