Photographer Martin Parr, whose colourful images captured British life, has died at the age of 73.

He died on Saturday at his home in Bristol, said the Martin Parr Foundation.

In a statement it said he would “be greatly missed” and was survived by his wife Susie, daughter Ellen, sister and grandson. It added the family asked for privacy.

Jonathan Stephenson, who collaborated on art and design projects with Parr over the years, told the BBC he had died peacefully watching football, adding: “It was my sheer privilege to have collaborated with Martin for 29 years.”
