World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.

Professor Brian Cox has called him a "truly brilliant communicator".

When asked if being in a wheelchair meant other scientists "cut him some slack", Professor Brian Cox said: 'No, absolutely not. His disability spurred him on to go further into physics.'
