Beatles icon Sir Paul McCartney has finally been given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

The 'Hey Jude' legend was honoured at the cement-filled ceremony yesterday, February 9, and became the 2,460th person to receive a coveted position on the world-famous street outside of Capitol Records.

Speaking to the crowd, which included Elvis Costello, McCartney's wife Nancy Shevell and rocker Neil Young, he explained:

"Way back in history, in Liverpool when we were kids and we were listening to Buddy Holly and all the rock 'n' roll greats, I would have never thought that the day would come when I'd be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."

"That was like an impossible thing to happen. But here we are today, and it's happening. But I couldn't have done it without, certainly, three boys -- so I want to say thanks to those guys, John, George and Ringo. ... I couldn't have done it without them, so I want to thank those guys and bless them for being in my life."
