People across Wales whose lives were touched by Nelson Mandela have been paying tribute to him today.
The South African statesman has been called a 'beacon of liberty' and a 'global inspiration'.
His death has also rekindled memories of his visit in 1998, when he was awarded the Freedom of the City of Cardiff in the castle grounds.
Six-year-old Emma Williams was invited to sit on Nelson Mandela's lap when he visited Wales in June 1998. Now 22, she speaks to ITV News.
Nelson Mandela's first ever television interview was given to ITN reporter Brian Widlake in May 1961.
Former ITV News presenter Sir Trevor McDonald was the first journalist to interview Nelson Mandela after his release from prison in 1990.
