Peter Meadows, who helped establish Christian festival Spring Harvest, has died at the age of 84.

Writing on Facebook, Spring Harvest said: "Pete was a pioneer, and a faithful servant of Jesus. We give thanks to God for his life, his faith, and the extraordinary legacy he leaves behind, a legacy that has shaped individuals, churches, and generations."

Meadows was recently honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by Christian music promoter A Step FWD in recognition of his help in shaping the "sound and story of UK Christian and Gospel music" as co-founder of label Musical Gospel Outreach.
