Jonathan Sacks: Former chief rabbi dies aged 72
Lord Sacks served as the figurehead of British Jews for 22 years before stepping down in September 2013.
He was made a life peer in 2009 and became a familiar voice through his regular broadcasts on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
His death on Saturday morning was confirmed in a statement by his Twitter account at 6pm.
