The Prince of Wales has led tributes to Dr Chad Varah, the founder of Samaritans, who has died aged 95.
Dr Varah passed away in hospital in Basingstoke, Hampshire, a spokesman for the charity confirmed.

He launched Samaritans from the crypt of St Stephen Walbrook Church, in the city of London, in 1953.

The Prince of Wales, patron of Samaritans, said Dr Varah was a "remarkable man" whose organisation has "saved the lives of countless people".
