The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have paid tribute to the 'inspirational and unfalteringly brave' Dame Deborah James
In a tweet signed off by Prince William and Kate, the pair wrote: "We are so sad to hear the heartbreaking news about Dame Deborah."Deborah was an inspirational and unfalteringly brave woman whose legacy will live on."
She said when she and Dame Deborah first met and was "struck by her energy that everybody talks about, that life force, that spirit, that absolute determination". "We know the inevitable is going to happen, and I think we've all been holding our breath the last few weeks, but I think like most of us the shock I felt and the grief was pretty major last night - lots of tears," she said.
Teresa Whitfield, who was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer after seeing Dame Deborah talking about symptoms on TV, said Dame Deborah saved her life. In an Instagram post on her account, her family wrote: "We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Dame Deborah James; the most amazing wife, daughter, sister, mummy. Deborah passed away peacefully today, surrounded by her family.
