On Tuesday, June 18, Julian, 61, — the son of Beatles legend John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia — marked Paul McCartney’s 82nd birthday with a special message on X (formerly known as Twitter).

“Hoppy Birdy, Uncle Paul! Only love… Jude x,” Julian’s caption read as he shared a video montage of himself as a child with McCartney.

Played alongside The Beatles’ classic “Hey Jude,” the first photo featured a younger McCartney sitting beside Julian on the grass.

The pair were then pictured walking together before the video switched to a snap of them playing on the shoreline by the sea.

The video finished with a photo of McCartney carrying a little Julian.

Paul McCartney of the Beatles with Julian Lennon, 26th July 1967. They went on to become the most successful pop group of all time and finally split in 1970. Paul McCartney subsequently went on to form Wings with his wife Linda, as well as having a successful solo career. McCartney was awarded a knighthood in 1997.

“Awww. Hey Jude. I’m crying,” one person commented, while another added, “Beautiful tribute to Paul, Julian.”

Back in March, McCartney confirmed in an episode of Paul McCartney: A Life in Lyrics on iHeartRadio, that Julian inspired “Hey Jude.”

This came after Julian’s parents announced their divorce due to John’s relationship with his second wife Yoko Ono.

“I was traveling one day to see Julian Lennon and his mother Cynthia and I used to call him Jules,” McCartney said. “So the song started off as I was in the car driving out, which was a 45-minute drive out of central London. People had sort of suggested, ‘Oh, I fancied Cynthia’ but people can suggest anything. I didn’t. I was just going out, just as a friend. Just to sort of see them.”
