LONDON - Sir Paul McCartney and new wife, Heather, made their first public appearance on Thursday since their recent marriage to attend an awards ceremony honoring outstanding young artists and athletes.
They helped present the awards with other celebrities at ITV1's Britain's Brilliant Proteges, in association with the charity Children In Crisis, which was founded by Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York.
The duchess, dressed in a black chiffon top and black trousers, presented one award to 14-year-old violinist Nicola Benedetti. Other prizes were for Best Young Actor, Best Young Ballet Dancer and Best Gymnast.
Sir Paul gave the award for the Best Young Pop Singer, and Heather gave the award for the Young Person Who Made A Difference.
"Isn't it great that (the children) are actually doing the show and that is an inspiration for all kids?" she said.
When asked about the prospect of having more children himself, McCartney said: "Oh, here we go, the British press. I mean, Jesus, isn't that so typical.? I think we can nix that question and try to get on with what we are here for, which is Sarah's charity and the charity work done."

"Because there wasn't any reason left to keep it all inside"
- Paul McCartney, 1982
