Mohamed Al-Fayed, the self-made billionaire who owned Harrods and Fulham FC, has died - almost 26 years to the day after his son was killed alongside Princess Diana in a car crash in Paris.

The Egyptian businessman was 94.

He was born in Alexandria in 1929 and moved to the UK in the 1960s, becoming an early driving force in the development of Dubai, and he later bought House of Fraser, including Harrods, with his brothers, as well as the Ritz hotel in Paris, which he owned up until his death.

A funeral service was held at London Central Mosque in Regents Park on Friday - following Islamic conventions to bury the dead as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours.

He was then buried at Barrow Green Court, his 17th century country pile, in Oxted, Surrey, at the family mausoleum next to son Dodi.
