US former First Lady Johnson dies

Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson, the widow of former US President Lyndon B Johnson, has died at the age of 94.

Mrs Johnson - who was widely known as Lady Bird Johnson - died at her home in Austin, Texas, of natural causes, a spokeswoman said.

In 2002, Lady Bird had a stroke that affected her speech. Last month, she was briefly admitted to a hospital with a low-grade fever.

Her husband - who was the US president in 1963-1969 - died in 1973.

Hopefully she's had a long, fulfilling life. This country shall honor her as someone that has contributed to the American society, during her time as First Lady and after.

RIP.

Here in Austin, the sorrow is palpable. The people of Texas revere Lady Bird, and honor her many contributions to the state and the nation. She was truly a unique individual, and she will be dearly missed.

Flags will fly at half mast across Texas through sunset on July 16. God bless.
