She was the woman who inspired three of the greatest love songs of all time and was at the heart of the most famous love triangle in rock history.

Married to both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, model Pattie Boyd was one of the most envied women in the world.

Yesterday at the age of 71, she wed for a third time – with a soundtrack provided by her Irish terrier Freddie who did his best to upstage the bride and her new groom, property developer Rod Weston.

Pattie Boyd has tied the knot for the third time, this time with Rod Weston at Chelsea Registry Office, Chelsea Old Town Hall, in London

The setting was very rock and roll; Chelsea Register Office on the King’s Road, where so many of pop’s leading men and women have married over the years.

But that’s where any similarity with Pattie’s famous past began and ended.

There were still splashes of style, of course, from the Bentley that took the happy couple to their wedding breakfast at the uber-trendy Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair to the presence of Pattie’s fellow Sixties model Edina Ronay.

But there were no groupies or hangers-on as there had been when she married Clapton in 1979 or Harrison in 1966 – just a handful of close friends and family who threw confetti as Pattie and Rod, who have been together almost 25 years, emerged from the cream-painted Rossetti Room arm in arm.

And in a nod to the tradition of the bride wearing something borrowed, Patti wore a hat owned by her late friend Pat Booth, the model turned best-selling author who died of cancer in 2009.

Friends of the couple, who live in Kensington, feared they would never tie the knot. ‘It’s almost our silver anniversary so we thought we had better get on with it,’ said Weston, 61.

Since settling down with Weston, Pattie, a former Vogue cover girl, has turned herself into an accomplished photographer and her pictures have been exhibited all over the world.

With the death of John Lennon’s ex-wife Cynthia last month, convent-educated Pattie is now the sole surviving first wife of a Beatle.

Born in Somerset, she met Harrison on the set of A Hard Day’s Night in 1964, when she was cast as a schoolgirl in The Beatles’ first film.

They were married two years later when she was 21 and Harrison, 22. He later wrote the song Something for her.

It was by no means the only famous song composed for the bewitching beauty.

Eric Clapton, who pursued her passionately, rhapsodised about her refusal to abandon Harrison for him with his anguished and electrifying hit Layla. He also wrote his most famous ballad, Wonderful Tonight, for her.

In her 2007 memoir, Wonderful Today, Pattie broke 35 years of silence to describe how after years of mutual anguish which pushed Clapton to the brink of a drug-induced breakdown, she eventually left Harrison to marry Clapton.

Her affair with the guitarist started in 1970 after he played Layla to her for the first time.

She said: ‘He played it to me two or three times, all the while watching my face intently for my reaction. My first thought was, “Oh God, everyone’s going to know this is about me.’’

Pattie, now 71, met property developer Rod back in 1991 and he became her long-term partner

Pattie, who has graced the cover of Vogue numerous times, and had three of arguably the greatest love songs ever written for her, has had some of the most high-profile relationships of all time

The first time that Pattie tied the knot was to George Harrison in January 1966 and legend Paul McCartney was best man

‘I was married to Eric’s close friend George Harrison, but Eric had been making his desire for me clear for months.

‘But with the realisation that I had inspired such passion and creativity, the song got the better of me. I could resist no longer.’

Later that day, Clapton confronted Harrison and said: ‘I have to tell you, man, that I’m in love with your wife.’ They finally got together in 1974, marrying five years later.

But while the songs have gone into rock history the marriage did not last and they split up in 1984.
