Macca escapes for an Easter holiday break with little Bea

Sir Paul McCartney is whisking his four-year-old daughter Beatrice abroad for a sunshine holiday after finally settling his divorce battle with Heather Mills.

A source said: "Paul will have Bea this Easter holiday. They are going on a lovely overseas break and Paul is really looking forward to it. He has always tried to keep Bea out of the spotlight and spend as much time with her as possible.

"The holiday could not have come at a better time. His head is clear, and he's finally got the past year behind him. Heather will have Bea next week."

Forgiving his estranged wife for what many believed was a vengeful attempt to win a £125m divorce settlement, the 65-year-old reportedly told friends he wants to maintain a "close and cordial" relationship with Miss Mills for the sake of their daughter.

Sir Paul reportedly confided that he will do all he can to make sure they stay friends.

Earlier this week, Miss Mills walked away with a divorce settlement of £24.3million.

She was condemned as an "inconsistent, inaccurate" witness by Mr Justice Bennett because of the claims she made.

Miss Mills re-launched her website this week, posting messages of support from Hilary Clinton and Sir Richard Branson.

But it emerged that Mrs Clinton's message was made in 2002 and Sir Richard Branson's may have been made as long ago as 1998.
