Iconic former cricket umpire Dickie Bird has died at the age of 92.
Bird, whose first-class playing career was cut short by injury, became one of the most famous umpires in the game.
He officiated in 66 Tests and 76 one-day internationals, including three World Cup finals, between 1973 and 1996.
Bird's home county Yorkshire, whom he played for and served as president, described him as a "national treasure, known not only for his umpiring excellence but also for his eccentricities and warmth".
"He leaves behind a legacy of sportsmanship, humility and joy - and a legion of admirers across generations," Yorkshire said.
The England and Wales Cricket Board said: "Everyone at the ECB is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dickie Bird.
"A proud Yorkshireman and a much-loved umpire, he will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Dickie."
