The "Beatles" legend Paul McCartney has demonstrated his solidarity with Ukraine!

Paul McCartney showed his support for Ukraine during his historic headline show at Glastonbury on Saturday, as the country remains gripped by a war with Russia.

The Beatles legend, 80, returned to the stage for an encore performance brandishing the country's flag, earning a huge cheer as he waved it over his head.

It comes after it was reported Paul had removed the song Back In The USSR from his planned Glastonbury set and all future shows in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

After a stunning performance of his song Hey Jude, Paul bide farewell to the crowd and left the stage, but following calls for an encore returned to the stage with a flag in his hand.

As he waved the flag over his head, the hitmaker, who has made a similar gesture during shows on his tour, earned a huge cheer from the crowd.

It was reported last week that Paul had chosen to axe The Beatles song Back In The USSR from all future shows in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The satirical Cold War-themed track pokes fun at Chuck Berry and the Beach Boys' odes to America, and is told from the perspective of a Russian spy returning from America.

A source told: 'It would be perverse to be singing a jaunty rock ’n’ roll song about Russia.

'Paul couldn’t in all conscience sing those lyrics when so many are being brutally massacred at the hands of Russia.

'The song is such a massive crowd favourite but with the horrors unfolding in Ukraine, it was a simple decision by Paul to make.'

Paul's historic Glastonbury set was lauded by fans as the music legend wowed with his vast medley of hits, just a week after celebrating his 80th birthday.

Taking to the stage for his first performance at the festival in 18 years, Paul performed hits ranging from his Beatles heyday to his time with the band Wings.

The pop icon earned a thunderous reception from the crowd of thousands watching the show, with many millions also watching the show air on.

To no surprise Paul's set earned an overwhelmingly positive reception from viewers, with many taking to Twitter to share their reaction.
