As last minute preparations continued for the wedding of Sir Paul

McCartney and Heather Mills, family, friends and celebrities were

making their way to a remote Irish castle today for the lavish

ceremony, which will reportedly be topped by an Indian-themed

vegetarian menu.

Media interest reached fever pitch as newspapers speculated about

every detail, from the guest list to reports of a sumptuous menu.

McCartney's spokesman Geoff Baker confirmed Beatles producer George

Martin and Ringo Starr would be among the 300 guests.

Television and newspaper reports said former US President Bill

Clinton, Eric Clapton, Sir Elton John and Pink Floyd frontman David

Gilmour were also on the guest list. Mr Baker confirmed the menu

would be strictly vegetarian. "This is being held by one of the

world's most famous vegetarians," he said of McCartney, whose late

wife Linda was an animal rights crusader and launched her own brand

of vegetarian health food. 59-year-old McCartney and 34-year-old

Mills were to be married by a local priest at the Protestant Church

of Ireland St Salvator's chapel, in the estate. The Sun reported

that covered walkways draped with silk link the church, castle and

marquees, decorated with lilies, roses, tulips and roses from

Holland. Television news showed footage shot from a helicopter of a

yacht moored to a specially built pier beside the estate's lake,

from which, according to reports, the newlyweds will watch an

firework display.
