BEYONCÉ pays tribute to Sir Paul McCartney in an outfit created by his fashion designer daughter Stella.
The superstar singer wore a T-shirt with two blackbirds on it — a reference to The Beatles' 1968 song Blackbird, which she recorded a cover of last year.
Beyoncé, 43, has performed the song during her record-breaking shows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.
She posted pictures on Instagram and wrote: "Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made. Every time I sing it I feel so honored.
"And it is a full circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter's design.
"Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family. Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!"
Blackbird featured on the White Album and has a special poignancy for Beyoncé.
It was written as a protest song against inequality in the US in the 1960s, when The Beatles refused to perform for a segregated audience.
Beyoncé's cover — spelt Blackbiird — features on her Cowboy Carter album.
After its release, Macca said: "I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place."
Beyoncé sold more than 275,000 tickets across her six nights in London, with her gigs grossing more than £45million.
She now holds the record for the most performances by any artist at the stadium, following five sold-out shows there in 2023 during her Renaissance Tour.
