Sir Paul drops by Linda's factory

Sir Paul McCartney has paid a surprise visit to a food factory set up by his late wife Linda.

The 65-year-old chatted to staff and even donned a white and coat as he toured Hain Frozen Foods in Fakenham, Norfolk. The singer 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.

A spokesman for Sir Paul said: "He visited the factory because of its links to Linda. 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.

He recently described the process as like "going through hell".

They married in 2002, but separated four years later.
