Jane Birkin: 'This was a woman who did a lot of incredible work'

Singer and actor Jane Birkin has died at the age of 76.

The English-French star was known for her personal and artistic relationship with songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, recording the iconic track Je T'aime...moi non plus with him. She also starred in dozens of films and inspired Hermès' Birkin handbag.

The Scottish composer Douglas T Stewart was one of many musicians to collaborate with her over the years, and he told Newshour what it was like to work with her.
