Former British Prime Minister and Labor Party leader James Callaghan died at home Saturday, 11 days ahead of his 93rd birthday, a family spokesman said.

He came to power in April, 1976 and was swept away by Margaret Thatcher's Conservatives in May 1979.

Lord Callaghan was the unique holder of the four major offices of state: Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary. He was also the longest-living Prime Minister in British history.

The family spokesman said Lord Callaghan died at home in East Sussex, in southeast England.
