RIP John Glenn
Former astronaut John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth, has died aged 95.
The former Marine and US Senator is best known for circling the earth in 1962 aboard a space capsule dubbed Friendship 7.
Glenn had been in hospital in Columbus, Ohio, for more than a week and died surrounded by his children and wife of 73 years.
He is expected to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia.
