In the animated 40-second clip, Linda takes photographs, serves up food for children and animals and plays music in a forested setting.

The animal lover was one of the world's top photographers and a dedicated vegetarian.

The promo, featuring Paul's reworked song and a voiceover by Elvis Costello, will be used to promote Linda's line of meat-free meals.
