State funeral and national day of mourning to be held for Jimmy Carter
There's been an outpouring of tributes to Jimmy Carter, the former US president who has died at the age of 100
US President Joe Biden describes Carter as "a man of principle, faith and humility," while President-elect Donald Trump says Americans owe Carter a "debt of gratitude"
A national day of mourning and state funeral will be held on 9 January
The Democrat's one term in office, from 1977 to 1981, included brokering a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel
He also dealt with a struggling US economy and a disastrous attempt to free American hostages seized in Iran
In later life he became a tireless worker for peace, the environment and human rights, for which he was recognised with a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002
