Architect of modern EU Jacques Delors dies aged 98

Former European Commission President Jacques Delors - described as the architect of the modern EU - has died aged 98, his daughter says.

He helped create the single market allowing the free movement of people, goods and services within the bloc.

Serving from 1985-1995, Delors also laid the groundwork for the single European currency, the euro.

But for those sceptical of integration, especially in the UK, he was seen as a symbol of Brussels meddling.

A headline by British tabloid The Sun once famously shouted: "Up Yours, Delors."
