His family confirmed he passed away peacefully on Saturday.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says his party would ban foreign nationals from living in social housing, requiring tenants to find private accommodation within three months or face possible deportation.
The party confirmed the ban would apply retrospectively under a policy to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said people want hope rather than more anger and division.
There are some places that never lose their magic. You might be older, a little wiser and perhaps moving a bit slower than you did when you first visited them, but certain attractions still bring a smile to your face the moment you walk through the gates.
