I painted with my daughter, watched my son play his guitar & I wept

HELEN McCrory spent the last year of her life painting and playing guitar with her children.

The Peaky Blinders actress – who lost her cancer battle at just 52 – spoke about her family time in an interview.

She and husband Damian Lewis spent treasured moments with daughter Manon, 14, and son Gulliver, 13.

Helen said: “We’ve done quite a lot of painting with my daughter, we’ve done quite a lot of music. Damian plays guitar, Gully plays guitars.”

She revealed that lockdown pushed her to her limits and she would find herself weeping during self-isolation at the family’s house in Suffolk.
