Macca plays mega set in Rome

Paul McCartney played a three-hour open-air show before about 500,000 people outside Rome's Colosseum, a day after a charity performance inside it for 400 fans.

Paul McCartney played a mega set this weekend in front of about 500,000 people outside Rome's Colosseum - the three hour set included a string of Beatles classics and various songs from his solo career.

The open air show followed a charity performance inside the Colosseum the day before where 400 fans, some of whom had paid up to £930 for a ticket, watched a much more intimate show. The charity performance was in aid of Rome's archaeological offices and to Adopt-a-Minefield, the anti-landmines charity backed by the singer and his wife Heather Mills.
