Amy Winehouse's father Mitch was seen brushing away tears as he arrived at Edgwarebury Lane Cemetery to visit his daughter's grave.

The taxi driver, 70, was emotional as he and Amy's family and friends went to the late singer's grave on Friday to make a decade since her tragic death.

Amy sadly passed away at her Camden home on July 23 in 2011, an initial inquest reached a verdict of misadventure but a second concluded death by accidental alcohol poisoning.

As he arrived at the cemetery, Mitch was seen reaching up to adjust his glasses and wipe away tears before he greeted Amy's family and friends.

Once the group arrived they stepped up to Amy's grave, where she is buried alongside her grandmother Cynthia Levy. 

They took a moment to stand in front of her grave together, before leaving notes and stones - a Jewish tradition- that they had painted in intricate colours.

Earlier this week, Mitch revealed he wants his late daughter to be remembered for her successes, including the charity set up in her honour and the royalties which have helped out her family members. 

Discussing his daughter's legacy in an interview with The Sun, Mitch said his mission was to make sure people remember Amy for 'her talent, her generosity and the love she showed us all' and 'not just her troubles with addiction.' 

Since her untimely death, her parents, Mitch and mother Janis, set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation 2011 in their daughter's memory. 

The organisation, one element Mitch is keen for the singer to be remembered for, helps to educate young people about substance abuse and was founded off the back of Amy's 'love for children and challenges she faced'

It also set up Amy's Place, a refuge which can house up to 16 young women at a time while they learn how to adapt to real life and maintain recovery after being in a rehabilitation facility. 

In addition, Amy's songs are still regularly played and admired, pouring in royalties to this day. 

Discussing the money Amy's music still brings to her family, Mitch said: 'Amy’s mum Janis and I manage her estate, and yes of course her music still makes a lot of money, what she did has set her whole family up. 

'The thing is, though, and I can’t say this clearly enough, I would give back every penny just to have my daughter back

'Ten years after her death, she is still looking after her loved ones — her family and many of her friends have been supported by her — and that’s typical of her. She was generous in life and in many ways she still is now.'

Mitch's words come as Amy's family prepare to air their BBC Two documentary, Reclaiming Amy, for the 10 year anniversary of her death on Friday.  

In it, her loved ones described her as 'the governor' and 'a feral cat' as they revealed they were powerless to stop her drugs and alcohol addiction. 

In scenes from the programme, Mitch explained, despite them all staging several interventions to help her, 'you couldn't tell her what to do'.

During the special programme, Mitch, reported by The Mirror, said: 'You couldn't tell her to do or not do something. If she was going to do it, she'd do it. Nobody controlled Amy. She was the governor.'

Amy's friend and stylist Naomi Parry echoed Mitch's sentiments: 'She looked like you could put her over your shoulder and take her somewhere but it would be like picking up a feral cat. It's going to scratch your eyes out.'

In the documentary tribute to the late singer, Amy's mother also explained she was not able to physically deal with her daughter's addictions because she was suffering
