One of the last survivors of World War Two's most famous prison break, known as the Great Escape, has died aged 101.
Australian Paul Royle was one of 76 airmen who escaped from notorious Nazi Stalag Luft III camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1944.
Their courageous feat was immortalised in the 1963 film The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen.
Mr Royle died in a Perth hospital on Sunday after surgery for a fractured hip, local media reported on Friday.

R.I.P Mr. Royle
