Sir Denis Thatcher has died in a London hospital, aged 88.
His family were at his bedside in the Lister Hospital, where he was admitted earlier this month.
Sir Denis Thatcher underwent a five-hour heart by-pass operation in January. He appeared to recover from this and after a spell of convalescence in a spa hotel, he travelled to South Africa to recuperate.
But, back in Britain, he felt unwell again two weeks ago and was admitted to the Royal Brompton Hospital and later transferred to the Lister Hospital.
