    Terry Jones: Monty Python star dies aged 77

    Monty Python star Terry Jones has died at the age of 77, four years after being diagnosed with dementia.

    A statement from his family said: "We have all lost a kind, funny, warm, creative and truly loving man."

    Fellow Python Sir Michael Palin described Jones as "one of the funniest writer-performers of his generation".

    John Cleese said: "It feels strange that a man of so many talents and such endless enthusiasm, should have faded so gently away..."

    He added: "Of his many achievements, for me the greatest gift he gave us all was his direction of Life of Brian. Perfection."

    Eric Idle, another member of the highly influential comedy troupe, recalled the "many laughs, moments of total hilarity onstage and off we have all shared with him".

    He went on: "It's too sad if you knew him, but if you didn't you will always smile at the many wonderfully funny moments he gave us."

    Very sad loss to comedy & oh far too young.
