Sir Paul visits Linda food factory

Ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney paid a surprise visit to a food factory set up by his widow Linda.

Sir Paul, 65, chatted to staff at Hain Frozen Foods in Fakenham, Norfolk, during a tour on Monday. Staff said the singer donned a white hat and coat and was accompanied by daughter Mary, 38.

Linda McCartney, a photographer who launched a vegetarian food business, died of cancer aged 56 in 1998 after marrying Sir Paul in 1969.
Hain bought the Linda McCartney food brand in 2006 and produces Linda McCartney pre-packed meals.

"He visited the factory because of its links to Linda," said a spokesman for Sir Paul. "He spent some time there and chatted to the staff."

Sir Paul is divorcing second wife Heather Mills, 39, the mother of his three-year-old daughter Beatrice. Earlier this month he described the process as like "going through hell".

He married Ms Mills, 39, in 2002 and the couple separated four years later.
