Bush was president of the U.S. from 1989 to 1993 and brought a “dedication to traditional American values,” and a determination to make the U.S. a “kinder and gentler nation,” according to a White House biography.

Born in Milton, Mass., on June 12, 1924, he enlisted in the armed forces on his 18th birthday. Being the youngest pilot in the navy when he began flying, he flew 58 combat missions during the Second World War and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery in action.

In January 1945, he married Barbara Pierce and together they had six children — George, Robin (who died as a child), John (known as Jeb), Neil, Marvin and Dorothy.
