McCartney divorce back in court McCartneys arrive at High Court
(about 1 hour later)
The divorce case of Sir Paul and Heather Mills McCartney is due to return to the High Court in London. Sir Paul and Heather Mills McCartney have arrived separately at the High Court in London to resume their high-profile divorce proceedings.
Press reports suggest there will be a settlement - which may exceed the £48m that broker John Charman was told to pay his former wife in May this year. Lady McCartney arrived first, entering the Royal Courts of Justice with a blanket over her head.
Sir Paul arrived shortly afterwards. Both used judge's entrances to get to court, avoiding contact with the media.
Press reports suggest the immediate issue is likely to be the size of the divorce settlement.
As the time approached for the beginning of the hearing, officials barricaded the entrance to court 16 with four office chairs.
Even the small spy hole in the door of the court had been covered to stop prying eyes.
