Known for his booming voice, striking blue eyes and imposing stature, Billy Graham's influence extended far beyond the United States.
The son of a dairy farmer, the Christian preacher was brought up in a fundamentalist family, becoming an ordained minister at 21.
He went on to adopt a more liberal style of evangelism, coming to prominence at the same time as television, which helped his message spread to almost every corner of the globe.
Reverend Graham visited almost every country in the world - including this visit to North Korea in 1992, where he met then-leader Kim Il-sung.
He also ventured to several Cold War states, and visited Australia in 1959.
The Southern Baptist had a strong following in Africa, refusing to visit South Africa unless the apartheid government allowed racially integrated meetings.
He made this speech in Durban in 1973.
Despite trying to stay out of politics, the Reverend faced accusations of getting too close to some leaders, and criticism for not pushing the cause of civil rights harder.
He later said he regretted not doing more.
Still, he managed to avoid many of the scandals that brought down his counterparts - his success inspiring others to follow his lead.
In later years he suffered from health issues including Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer, and handed over his ministry to his son Franklin in 1995.
But Billy Graham never stopped preaching.
