Sir Paul McCartney is really ticked off after a pair of American intruders broke into his country estate.

Two camera weilding tourists filmed themselves wandering around Paul's English estate at Peasmarsh, East Sussex, and recorded footage of the grounds and it's contents, before posting the video on the YouTube website.

Paul is said to be "livid" that the fans managed to sneak into the 933-acre estate and has cracked the whip on his staff to tighten security.

Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper reported an unnamed source saying: "Macca is livid. He is supposed to have tight security to protect him and his family but this pair walked straight in. It's lucky they were harmless. He didn't need something like this to happen, his divorce to Heather Mills is giving him enough stress."

A footpath running close to the borders of his estate is being blamed for the access.  The 64-year-old musician has complained before that the public footpath runs too close to his home.

On their You Tube vid, they are heard saying on the video: "This is it. This is his house. It's beautiful. Oh God, we are going to be in so much trouble."

In another clip, muffled singing and music can be heard and the tourists claim it is Paul.
