Founder of ethical cosmetics firm Body Shop, Dame Anita Roddick, has died at the age of 64.
Her husband, Gordon, and daughters Sam and Justine were with her when she died at 1830 BST on Monday at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex.
She had been taken to hospital on Sunday after complaining of a headache.
Dame Anita set up the first Body Shop in Brighton in 1976. She pioneered cruelty-free beauty products and turned them into a highly profitable business. Now thanks to her, many products are no longer tested on animals.
