A prominent Jewish philanthropist who created a prize to support high achievers in the arts and sciences has died at the age of 82.
Dan David was born in Romania but left and made aliyah in the 1960s because his Zionist activities put him at odds with the communist government.
He became a successful businessman as one of the original creators of automatic photo machines for passport pictures and lived in Italy, Israel and Britain.
Mr David, who will be buried in Israel on Friday, suffered a brain haemorrhage and died in London on Tuesday.
