Paul chatted with youngsters from a Brixton primary school. He read from his children’s book Hey Grandude!, which celebrates adventures and relationships shared between grandparents and grandchildren.

Paul met with young readers at a Waterstone’s store in Piccadilly, London, and took part in a question and answer session.

The living room of the the Grandude character was recreated in the bookshop, and the volume’s illustrator Kathryn Durst was also there with The Beatles’ star to speak with pupils.

Paul’s event was part of a campaign by publishers Puffin to get more young people reading, and to reinvigorate school libraries. A lucky fan was also able to meet the musician having won a competition to spend time with Sir Paul.
