Republican Senator John McCain has died after a battle with brain cancer at the age of 81.

He endured years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam before coming to Washington.

McCain was an elder statesman and self-styled political 'maverick'.

He was admired in both parties for touting civility and compromise in an era of toxic partisanship.
