John Prescott, former British deputy prime minister, has died aged 86. Prescott was a former trade union activist and a significant figure of the New Labour movement. Prescott served as deputy prime minister under Blair, and was seen as a custodian of the Labour party’s traditional values in the face of a modernising leadership.

We would like to hear your tributes and memories of John Prescott – whether you met him, or appreciated the work he did in politics.
