Jackson rewards one of his waiting female fans with a kiss
The star, who is said to be facing serious financial difficulties, waded through the frenzy outside his hotel to hug and kiss the female fan, and greet others who had also been waiting.
He is rumoured to be in town to meet with Sir Paul McCartney's people to discuss the sale of part of his £200 million Beatles back catalogue in order to stave off bankruptcy.

As he made his way into the hotel, fans, who had pitched up from all over the world, followed the frail-looking pop star to the lift screaming: 'Michael, Michael, We love you, Michael."
The Prince of Pop; Jackson can still draw the crowds wherever he goes
Wacko, 48, is currently holed up in the £3,000-a-night presidential suite on the 18th floor of the five-star hotel on Cadogan Place, which he checked into under the name of Ms Jackson.
The singer is said to be in town
The Prince of Pop is reported to be travelling with a team of 10 security guards to look after him and his two kids - Prince, 10, and nine-year-old Paris Michael - on their whistlestop visit to London.
Bouncers stand guard by the lift doors on the 18th floor around the clock to make sure that nobody outside his entourage can get any access to them.
While he is in town, the former Jackson Five star hopes to meet up with his big brother Jermaine - who is still in England after taking part in this year's Celebrity Big Brother - and his good friend David Gest.
