Charles Kennedy death: Emotional tribute to ex-Lib Dem leader

An emotional Kirsty Williams has led tributes to the former leader of the Liberal Democrats Charles Kennedy who has died in Scotland aged 55.

The leader of the party in Wales told BBC Radio Wales he was a "lovely" person, "witty, charming" and had the "gift" of speaking like a "normal person".

The Scottish ex-MP's death was not believed to be suspicious and the cause has yet to be confirmed.

Mr Kennedy, who led his party from 1999 to 2006, lost his seat in the Ross, Skye and Lochaber constituency in last month's general election.
