Tributes have been paid to John Bird, who has died aged 86. Bird's career stretched from the satire boom of the 1960s to breaking through to a new audience with his work with Rory Bremner.

Bremner led the tributes on Twitter: 

"Deeply saddened to hear that the great John Bird has left us. One of the most modest of men and most brilliant of satirists. And one of the last surviving pillars of the anti-establishment.
