Nelson Mandela has died at the age of 95
His death has been announced in the last hour (9pm UK time).
The former president's friends and loved ones gathered at his house in South Africa earlier, at the time describing the 95 year old as 'on his death-bed'
Mr Mandela had been very ill on and off for the last year.
He had returned home on September the 1st in a critical condition after being in a Pretoria hospital for almost three months - the fourth time he had been admitted to hospital since last December.
He had battled a series of lung infections and respiratory illnesses in the past few years.
Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison after being found guilty of being sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow his country's government before being released in 1990, became South Africa's first democratically elected president, holding office from 1994 to 1999.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
In 2001 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and in 2004 retired from public life.
Reporter Alex Crawford is in South Africa.
President Obama has paid tribute.
In London, stars of the new film about Mandela's life had gathered to watch the premiere of Long Walk to Freedom in Leicester Square.
Guests including Mandela's god-daughter, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, were informed of his death as they watched the film. William and Kate were informed of his death discreetly by an aide shortly before the end of the film.
A two minute silence was then held.
Prince William was heard to say after the screening I just wanted to say it's extremely sad and tragic news.

St Helier responds to complaints
The NHS website set up so patients can write comments about hospitals in a trip advisor style, has been flooded with complaints.
Care Connect was set up in August and patients give the hospital a score out of five and post their comments.
But is seems some hospitals aren’t faring so well.
One comment, allegedly from a parent visiting St Helier in Carshalton, gave it a score of 1 and saying it was appalling all round.
The Hospital issued this statement to us earlier.
As a Trust, we are absolutely committed to listening to what our patients have to say about the experience they have in our hospitals – whether they have positive feedback or want to report something that has caused them concern – we value every thought and opinion.
In addition, we truly believe in being an open and transparent organisation and where necessary, will always face up to and investigate the concerns of our patients. This is a particularly important part of the work we are undertaking to ensure that a situation similar to that highlighted in the Francis report (which looked into failings at Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust), could not happen at our hospitals.
As such, we offer a number of different ways for patients and their loved ones to have their say about our services. Either online on our website, by letter, through social media sites such as Twitter or simply by contacting our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS), the people who use our hospitals can let us know what they think in a way that is convenient to them.
It is because of our commitment to listening to and acting upon patient feedback that we agreed to take part in the pilot scheme of the new Care Connect website. Since joining the scheme at the end of July, 99 people have left reviews about St Helier Hospital, with the vast majority of people rating our hospitals with the highest possible mark.
The full breakdown is as follows:
42% of people gave us a five star rating
12% gave us four stars
7% awarded us three stars
9% gave us two stars
16% gave us one star.
Whilst we are delighted that the vast majority of the reviews we had were very positive, we will of course, investigate and rectify problems identified in any less positive reviews. posted by Radio Jackie News Team @ 1:36 pm
