Walter Cronkite, once called the "most trusted man in America" has died at the age of 92.

As a journalist he covered all the major events of his lifetime; landing with the Allied troops on the beaches at Normandy on D Day; speechless with amazement, like every American, when a man first landed on the moon; telling the nation the news that President John F. Kennedy had been shot dead.

He called himself a liberal, saying, "I define liberal as a person who is not doctrinaire. That is a dictionary definition of liberal…open to change, constantly, not committed to any particular creed or doctrine, or whatnot, and in that respect I think that news people should be liberal."

The famed CBS news anchor died at his home in New York after a long illness with his family by his side.
