Barack Obama has joined the tributes being paid to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who has died aged 90.
The former US President said the South African was “grounded in the struggle for liberation and justice in his own country, but also concerned with injustice everywhere”.
Leading UK tributes, the Queen remembered “with fondness my meetings with him, his great warmth and humour”.
Archbishop Tutu was awarded the Nobel prize in 1984 for his role in the struggle to abolish the apartheid system enforced by the white minority government against the black majority in South Africa from 1948 until 1991.
