Paul McCartney met American photographer Linda Eastman in 1967 at a Georgie Fame concert at The Bag O'Nails nightclub in Soho, London. After their first night together, Linda returned to the US to work and look after her daughter. Paul and Linda didn’t meet again until a year later when The Beatles were in New York.

After that, Linda and her daughter Heather - who she shared with ex husband Joseph See flew to London and she started dating Paul properly. A short while later, Paul invited Linda to live with him in London with her daughter.

Paul proposed to her after dating for a year, but they almost didn’t tie the knot after they got into a huge argument just hours before the big day. McCartney previously told Ultimate Classic Rock: "We were crazy.

"We had a big argument the night before we got married, and it was nearly called off. We were very up and down, quite funky compared to the eventual image of '25 years of married bliss! Aren't they lucky for people in showbiz?'

They went on to have three children together; Mary (b. 1969), Stella (b. 1971), and James (b. 1977), while Paul also adopted Linda’s daughter Heather. In 1998, Linda sadly passed away at the age of 56 following a battle with breast cancer.

She spent her last days in Tucson, Arizona, in the family ranch with Paul and their children. Paul said in a statement at the time: "The kids and I were there when she crossed over.
