TWO intruders broke into Sir Paul McCartney’s country estate and filmed themselves wandering up to his front door.The trespassers calmly strolled around the grounds with a camera, videoing Macca’s house and cars. And then they posted their film on an internet site, complete with commentary. Macca, 64, is said to be furious that the two US tourists sneaked into his 933-acre estate at Peasmarsh, East Sussex, with such ease. The ex-Beatle, going through a bitter divorce from ex-model Heather Mills, has given staff at Woodlands Farm a dressing-down and ordered them to tighten-up security.
A source close to the singer said: “Macca is livid. He is supposed to have tight security to protect him and his family but this pair walked straight in. It’s lucky they were harmless.”He just didn’t need something like this happening. The divorce is givin him enough stress.”The tourists managed to get on to Macca’s land after walking down a public footpath that runs nearby.It is not known whether the Sir Paul was in the house at the time.In the shaky footage posted on the popular YouTube website,theAmericans can be heard laughing nervously as the camera moves towards Macca’s three-bedroom farmhouse Beanacres.A woman’s voice says: “This is it. This is his house. It’s a beautiful house. It’s beautiful. Oh God, we are going to be in so much trouble.”In a second clip muffled singing and music can be faintly heard. The Americans claim it is Macca himself.The intrusion will evoke troubling memories for Sir Paul. In 1999, fellow ex-Beatle George Harrison was stabbed when schizophrenic Michael Abram broke into his Oxfordshire mansion.And John Lennnon was shot dead by crazed fan Mark Chapman in New York in 1980. A security expert yesterday said the trespassers had demonstrated just how easy is was to get close to Sir Paul. Ex-detective Hamish Brown said: “Now he’ll have to decide if he wants to make the estate like Ford Knox or not.”Macca, who is worth £750million, has previously complained that the public footpath runs too close to his house.He built a luxurious £1million log cabin so he could have living quarters further away from the path.A spokesman for Sir Paul last night declined to comment on the break-in. 3am
Kind of lame, no?
