Notes: Linda McCartney sadly passed away at their family ranch in Arizona. The news broke around the World at approx. 8pm UK time.
All the late night news programs carried the sad news with Sky News being one of the first to announce it with a 4 minute news item.
The next morning "Sky News" at 9am did a 9 minute feature on Linda.
"BBC News", "ITV News", "Channel 4 News" & "Sky News Prime" also did quite lengthy stories about Linda during the day.
At the time it was unknown where exactly Linda had passed away hence the paparazzi thankfully were unable to get any photos or footage of Paul or his family.
In fact Paul remained out of the public`s eye until Linda`s memorial service in June in London and did no official film or television
until he talked about breast care awareness in October followed soon after with an appearance at Stella`s third Chloe fashion parade in Paris.
