It was supposed to be a blissful summer holiday for the little girl at the centre of the pop world’s most acrimonious divorce.Instead Sir Paul McCartney’s daughter, Beatrice, has become the talk of East Hampton, the chic seaside resort where the two-year-old spent several days with her father before being collected by his estranged wife, Heather, with whom she is spending the rest of her American holiday. The 64-year-old ex-Beatle arrived in East Hampton by helicopter two weeks ago and was collected by a security guard in an old truck. East Hampton’s fabulously wealthy residents were amazed when they began to see Sir Paul pedalling through the town’s quaint streets on a pushbike in the afternoons, towing Beatrice in a buggy."He was sweating heavily the first time I saw him," one said. "He had clearly come quite a distance and it was a very hot day."He took Beatrice to the local playground. Most kids go there with their nannies so it was quite something to see this multi-millionaire cycling there and pushing his little girl on the swings. He was very patient with her. She complained she was uncomfortable because she was wearing a wet swimming costume so he had her take it off and wrung it out."Another dad told me that the only help he had at home was a part-time chef. He looked after Beatrice himself which I assume will be a big plus for him if he decides to go for custody, as everyone has been predicting."Another East Hampton resident said: "I was on the beach several days ago when I heard her crying and yelling. The people she was with tried to calm her down but finally they had to take her home."Beatrice flew into Heather’s arms when the former topless model arrived to collect her. The child is now staying at a rented house near East Hampton with her 38-year-old mother, who flew to the New York area after a trip to Los Angeles.Asked about Beatrice’s tantrums, Heather’s representative, Phil Hall, said: "I am not aware of the incidents but it is a difficult time for the family."

I hope he gets custody of Beatrice.
