Tributes have been paid to Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who won the US presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian, following his death aged 100.

The longest-lived American president died on Sunday, roughly 22 months after entering hospice care, at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, the Carter Centre said.
