Death of Nelson Mandela

The Prime Minister has responded to the death of former South African President Nelson Mandela.

Prime Minister David Cameron said:

A great light has gone out in the world. Nelson Mandela was a towering figure in our time; a legend in life and now in death - a true global hero. Across the country he loved they will be mourning a man who was the embodiment of grace. Meeting him was one of the great honours of my life.

My heart goes out to his family - and to all in South Africa and around the world whose lives were changed through his courage.
