READING:

People all over the world are mourning the death of Nelson Mandela. Thousands met in South African cities to say goodbye to the man they loved. They danced, sang, cried and prayed. Mr Mandela died aged 95 after months of illness. South Africa's president reported his death on TV. He said: "Our nation has lost its greatest son." Mr Mandela spent most of his life fighting for equal rights. He spent 27 years in jail and then became president in 1994.

World leaders praised Mr Mandela. Desmond Tutu said: "God was so good to us…by giving us Nelson Mandela." Barack Obama said: "He achieved more than could be expected of any man. Today, he has gone home." The UN's leader said he was a "giant for justice and a down-to-earth human inspiration". He said he "showed what is possible…if we believe, dream and work together". Britain's leader called him a hero and that "a great light has gone out in the world".
