The Prime Minister said:
William Rees-Mogg is rightly a Fleet Street legend - editing The Times through a tumultuous period with flair and integrity.
I always found him full of wisdom and good advice - particularly when I first became Leader of the Opposition.
My thoughts are with his wife and five children at this sad time.
