#HenriLloyd - Henri Strzelecki, founder of the marine clothing brand Henri Lloyd, has died aged 87, The Scotsman reports.

The Polish-born entrepreneur, who passed away peacefully on 26 December, helped to revolutionise sports clothing in his partnership with Angus Lloyd in the 1960s.

The company pioneered the use of artificial fibres such as Bri-Nylon and new technologies like Velcro to create a lasting legacy in fashion that lives on today with America's Cup teams and round-the-world yacht crews the world over.

A tribute on the Henri Lloyd website reads: "During his lifetime Mr Henri, as he was known, left a lasting impression with many people through his humanity, good humour and passion for life."
