Mr Berry, received emergency medical attention but died after being transferred to St Mary's Hospital, in central London.

In a message on his personal website Mr Berry wrote: "This page is dedicated to my mum, who despite being diagnosed with osteoporosis at the relatively early age of 52 years, has been an inspiration through the continued positive outlook she has displayed ever since, despite some quite clear discomfort."
