These still photographs - discovered by researchers restoring the 1965 movie - are all that's left of the encounter.

The 64-year-old recently spoke of her disappointment at being edited out of the movie:

"I was devastated. But I've met Paul since and it was lovely that he remembered me." Richards went on to star as Miss Brahms in BBC comedy Are You Being Served?

She joined Eastenders in 1985 playing frumpy Pauline Fowler for 22 years.

Paul McCartney, 65, is currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with his second wife Heather Mills.

Help is available on DVD from November 5.
