Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs has died at the age of 84 after years of ill health, Sky sources say.
Biggs was part of a gang that robbed a Glasgow to London mail train in 1963 and escaped with a then record haul of ?2.6m, the equivalent of ?40m today.
He was last seen in public in March at the funeral of Bruce Reynolds who masterminded the audacious robbery.
The gang pounced shortly after 3am as the train passed through the Buckinghamshire countryside close to Cheddington.
The train driver Jack Mills was struck with an iron bar and never worked again.
