One of the premier televangelists in the US, Rex Humbard, died on Friday aged 88, a family spokesman has said.

Mr Humbard died of natural causes at a Florida hospital, close to his home.

A former travelling preacher, he began using television to reach his audience in the 1950s and by the 1970s was known across the globe for his services.

Among the admirers of his Cathedral of Tomorrow broadcasts was Elvis Presley and Mr Humbard spoke at the American superstar's funeral in 1977.

Seems Rex was one of the better members of what is usually a pretty despicable breed - personally I'm not keen on this type of worship, but each to their own.
