The Conservative peer Brian Mawhinney has died at the age of 79.
The Belfast-born former chairman of the Conservative Party joined the House of Lords in 2005 after standing down as MP for North West Cambridgeshire.
In 2003 he was appointed as chairman of the Football League, a role he carried out for seven years.
In a statement, his family said the "much-loved husband, father and grandfather and a friend to many" died on Saturday after a long illness.
"His death brings an end to a life dedicated to public service and rooted in an unwavering Christian faith," the statement said.
