That's all for the coverage on the death of Glenda Jackson who died today after a brief illness at the age of 87.

Sir Michael Caine has described Glenda Jackson as "one of our greatest movie actresses" following news of her death aged 87.

Caine, 90, had recently finished filming The Great Escaper with Jackson, and last acted with her 48 years ago in The Romantic Englishwoman. 

"Glenda was one of our greatest movie actresses," he said.

"It was a privilege to work with her on The Great Escaper recently, our second film together.

"It was as wonderful an experience this time as it was 50 years ago. I shall miss her."

Former heavyweight champion Frank Bruno has recalled meeting Glenda Jackson for the first time, describing her as a "nice lady". 

The 61-year-old said when he first met the late actress she said to him "I understand you fight people for a living", to which he replied: "Boxing is just show business with blood."

BAFTA has said it is "deeply saddened" by the death of Glenda Jackson. 

The 87-year-old became an "international star" in the 1970s, it said. 

She last won a BAFTA in 2020 for her role in Elizabeth is Missing. 

During her career on stage and screen, Glenda Jackson made a number of TV and film appearances - some of which she won the highest awards for. 

She has worked alongside the likes of Sir Michael Caine, Vanessa Redgrave and Peter Finch. 

One of her most recognisable clips comes from the work she did with comedy legends Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise. 

She appeared alongside the duo in their 1972 Christmas Show... 

Gordon Brown has paid tribute to Glenda Jackson, saying she was the "best actress of our generation". 

The former prime minister described the ex-MP as an "incredibly principled passionate and eloquent advocate of social justice" who he "admired greatly". 

Broadcaster Gyles Brandreth said he treasures his "unlikely friendship" with the "gifted, caring and special" Jackson.

"A wonderful actress, a committed politician, a remarkable human being - we became MPs on the same day in 1992 & I treasure our unlikely friendship," he tweeted.

"She was such a gifted, caring & special person who came into the world to make a difference - and did. RIP the unique Glenda Jackson."

Mr Brandreth served as a Conservative MP for the City of Chester from 1992 to 1997. 

Tributes are still being paid to the "formidable politician" and "amazing actress" Glenda Jackson.

Before dedicating her life to politics in the 1990s, she was a star of stage and screen. 

After standing down as an MP at the 2015 general election, she returned to acting, starring as a woman with dementia in Elizabeth Is Missing in 2019. 

Sir Keir Starmer has paid tribute to the "loved and respected" Glenda Jackson. 

The Labour leader said he was "very sad" to hear of her passing, saying she "leaves a space in our cultural and political life that can never be filled". 

"She played many roles with great distinction, passion and commitment," he added. 

"From award-winning actor to campaigner and activist to Labour MP and government minister, Glenda Jackson was always fighting for human rights and social justice."

He also evoked her famous appearance on Morecambe and Wise as Cleopatra, with a play on her line, "All men are fools, and what makes them so is having beauty like what I have got".

He said: "Of course no tribute to Glenda could fail to mention her role as Cleopatra in that most famous and loved of all the Morecambe and Wise sketches.

"We will never see talent like what she has got again."
