Sir Paul McCartney arrived at the High Court wearing a dark suit
Sir Paul and Heather Mills McCartney have arrived separately at the High Court in London to resume their high-profile divorce proceedings.
Lady McCartney arrived first, entering the Royal Courts of Justice with a blanket over her head.
Sir Paul arrived shortly afterwards. Both used judges' 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.
Estimated fortune
Sir Paul and Lady McCartney, who have a three-year-old daughter named Beatrice, announced in May 2006 that they were ending their four-year marriage.
With the former Beatle's fortune estimated at £825 million, it has the potential to be the most costly divorce in British legal history.
Press speculation has suggested the settlement could reach £60m, exceeding the record £48m businessman John Charman was told to pay his former wife in May this year.
In January, Lady McCartney's lawyers denied she had agreed to a financial settlement worth £32 million.
The couple were last at the High Court in March for a preliminary hearing.
