Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Sunday Times, described Ms Colvin as “one of the most outstanding foreign correspondents of her generation”.

She was the only British newspaper reporter in the opposition stronghold of Homs, a leading focus of unrest in the 11-month uprising against president Bashar Assad.

Mr Murdoch said efforts were being made to rescue Mr Conroy.

“We are doing all we can in the face of shelling and sniper fire to get him to safety and to recover Marie’s body,” he said.
