George Herbert Walker Bush was the oldest former president in the history of the United States.
He led the country between 1989 and 1993, after, for eight years, he was vice-president under Ronald Reaga.
Before that, Bush was also a member of the House of Representatives, ambassador to the UN and director of the CIA.
As a young man, he interrupted his studies to fight in World War II, at one point being the youngest aviator in the United States Navy.
He celebrated his 80th and 85th birthdays by skydiving, but then his health worsened and he only moved around in a wheelchair.
Two of his sons also made a career in politics: George was also president, and Jeb – governor of Florida. His wife, Barbara, died this year.
