Playful never-before-seen photos of Paul and Linda McCartney capture their bond as they pose in quirky costumes

The playful shots were found in the loft of the celebrated fashion and celebrity snapper Clive Arrowsmith. 

The couple's strong bond is evident in one intimate portrait of the pair posing cheek to cheek (left). 

Another more playful pose sees the couple in jaunty costumes. Linda is wearing a top hat while Paul salutes the camera in a beret, clasping a cane to his chest (right). 

The shots were taken in spontaneous sessions following two official album shoots. The images will appear in a special musical version of The RPS Journal, available this month.
