Photographer Mary McCartney says she wishes she had taken more pictures of her mother, Linda, whilst she was alive.

The 45-year-old is the daughter of singer Paul McCartney and late wife Linda, who died aged 56 from breast cancer in 1998.

Mary became a professional photographer after being "inspired" by her mother's photos, and said she found "solace" in them after her death.

"I would've liked to have taken more pictures of her," she said. "When it's your family sometimes you just don't think because... you take them for granted."

Mary also tackled criticism that having a famous family helped her career, saying that her name helped her get noticed, but bookings were based on "talent".
