Prince Charles, former Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will take part in a digital tribute to Rabbi Lord Sacks to be aired on Sunday evening. 

The pre-recorded programme, which will also feature contributions from Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and  Lady Sacks, will mark the end of the 30-day period of mourning for the Emeritus Chief Rabbi, who died on November 7, aged 72. 

The programme, following a month of learning worldwide in his memory, will be hosted by Lord Winston and will go out at www.RabbiSacks.org/shloshim at 7pm. 

The Prince of Wales previously hailed Rabbi Sacks as a "light unto this nation".

Leading Orthodox American Jewish organisations have also produced a video in his memory.
