Tributes are being paid to former Norwich City majority shareholder Michael Wynn Jones, who has died aged 85.
The club confirmed he died peacefully at home on Monday 28 September.
Mr Wynn Jones and his wife Delia Smith joined the Norwich City board in November 1996 and became two of the most recognisable figures associated with the club.
They helped stabilise Norwich during a difficult financial period and remained at the heart of the club for almost three decades.
During their time in control, Norwich experienced several promotions to the Premier League and major changes both on and off the pitch.
The couple stepped back from controlling ownership in 2024 as Norfolk Holdings, led by American businessman Mark Attanasio, increased its stake in the club.
Mr Wynn Jones and Delia subsequently became honorary life presidents.
A lifelong Norwich supporter, he regularly attended matches home and away and was also well known for his career in journalism, publishing and writing.
Norwich City lowered its flags at Carrow Road to half-mast following news of his death.
A book of condolence has also been opened for supporters, with the club saying it will work with his family on a permanent tribute to his life and contribution.
The club described him as a hugely valued figure who will be greatly missed.
