He added black sandals and a navy baseball cap, shielding his eyes from the sun with shades.
His pal threw his arm around him and they joked together as they strolled along in the bright summer weather.
This comes after Paul encouraged others to get vaccinated as he shared a throwback image getting his own dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
Sir Paul took to Twitter on Monday to share the throwback snap as he tweeted: ‘BE COOL. GET VAX’D – Paul.’

Although Sir Paul did not state when or where he received the vaccine, those aged 70 and over and the clinically extremely vulnerable began receiving invitations for vaccinations in the UK on January 18.
Back in December, the Liverpudlian rock star insisted that he would get vaccinated ‘as soon as I’m allowed.’
He told The Sun at the time. ‘The vaccine will get us out of this. I think we’ll come through it, I know we’ll come through, and it’s great news about the vaccine.
‘I’ll have it as soon as I’m allowed. ‘The vaccine will get us out of this.’

The Covid-19 vaccine is the biggest breakthrough since the pandemic began, potentially saving tens of thousands of lives.
Just like other routine vaccines, this works by teaching the immune system how to defend itself against attack.
A slew of stars have been taking to social media to document getting the jab in a bid to encourage their fans to follow suit.
Mr. Lordi, aka Tomi Petteri Putaansuu, of the Finnish hard rock band Lordi, took a novel approach when he received the second jab in Rovaniemi, Finland – visiting the vaccination centre in full costume.

Sir Paul’s post comes after it was revealed that nearly eight months since the first Covid-19 vaccine was given in the UK, more than three million 18 to 29-year-olds have yet to take up the offer of a first jab.
Vaccination rates vary across the four nations of the UK, but take-up among younger age groups remains consistently lower than the equivalent figures for older groups.
The vaccine was released in stages, with everyone aged 18 and over invited to receive the jab as of last month.
The UK’s largest ever vaccination programme began on December 8 and a host stars, such as Sir Ian McKellen CBE, 82, Lionel Blair, 92, and Prue Leith, 81, encouraged others to follow suit when they received their first jab in December.
After getting the vaccine at the Arts Research Centre, Queen Mary University Hospital in December, Sir Ian McKellen said: ‘It’s a very special day, I feel euphoric!
‘Anyone who has lived as long as I have is alive because they have had previous vaccinations.
‘The take-up amongst the older generation will be 100 per cent – it ought to be – because you’re having it not just for yourself but for people who you are close to – you’re doing your bit for society.
‘Of course, it’s painless… it’s convenient, and getting in touch and meeting NHS staff and saying thank you to them for how hard they’ve been working is a bonus.
‘I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. I feel very lucky to have had the vaccine.’

Veteran star Lionel Blair, 92, also received his first Jab at the end of 2020, attending the NHS vaccine centre in the grounds of the horse racing course at Epsom, Surrey.
After being filmed beaming while getting the jab, he later said: ‘I couldn’t believe it when they called me. It’s next week and then the next one is in January and here I am. I’m just thinking, thank God I live here.’
Lionel looked delighted in the video as he was tended to by a nurse, who pulled his sleeve up and administered the jab, which he admitted was ‘fine’.
Meanwhile, Paul and wife Nancy Shevell, 61, have been spending quality time together in the Hamptons, America, amid the pandemic.
The couple have been together since 2007 and married in a ceremony held in Marylebone four years later in 2011.

It’s thought Paul and Nancy, who is 18 years his junior, first met thanks to both owning homes in the Hamptons.
Paul was previously married twice before – he wed first wife Linda in 1969 and the pair were married until Linda died, aged 56, in 1998, following a battle with breast cancer.
Paul and Linda share four children; daughters Heather, Mary and Stella, and son James.
He later wed second wife Heather Mills, who he shares daughter Beatrice with, in 2002 – they split four years later in 2006 and their divorce, costing the star £24.3 million, was finalised in 2008.
