Amy Winehouse's father hopes she will be remembered in a "positive" way after a statue of the late singer was unveiled in London today.
Her father, Mitch, believes the statue placed near her home in Camden shows that Amy is "spiritually" always with her family and fans.
Speaking at an event to mark the unveiling of the statue, he told The Guardian: "It's a day of incredibly mixed emotions. They don't put statues up for people who are with us anymore so it reinforces the fact that physically she's gone but spiritually she'll never leave us.
"I feel sad, very, very sad. We shouldn't be here but we are, this is the reality and we've just got to make the most of it. So this statue is part of making the most of it.
"Getting people to come here, spend some time with Amy and put a flower in her hair and remember her in a very positive way. That for me is wonderful."
The statue shows the singer with her infamous beehive hair do and statement eyeliner.
Amy's mother, Janis, said: "It's just a wow, a definite wow. I am pleased with how the statue turned out because you can see that it's Amy.
"It is soon but it was beyond our control - events overtook events but we're very proud of it. Camden is Amy's place, it's where she belongs."
The star died in 2011 from alcohol poisoning after a battle with drugs and an alcohol addiction.
