Film director and restaurant critic Michael Winner has died at the age of 77.

Mr Winner, who had been ill for some time, died on Monday at his London home in Kensington, where he was being nursed by his wife Geraldine.

Paying tribute to her husband Mrs Winner, a former dancer who he married two years ago, said in a statement: "Michael was a wonderful man, brilliant, funny and generous.

"A light has gone out in my life."

Mr Winner made more than 30 films, including the blockbuster Death Wish series.

Always sad to here that someone has died, especially someone who brought entertainment to people's lives, but I don't think he'll get much sympathy from the UK people, as he's became very annoying.

He was in a few adverts that coined catchphrases, never annoyed me. He was a decent director and seemed a decent bloke. Farewell!
