Google know how to nail their doodles, but they've exceeded themselves today with their superb tribute to Nelson Mandela on his birthday.

The great man died aged 95 in December of last year and on the 96th anniversary of his birth, Google have paid a fitting tribute to a man who will go down as one the most important and most influential people the world has ever known. Go to the Google homepage here and take a moment to let the great man's wisdom wash over you. Remember to press play on the sidebar of the doodle and it will take you through some of his most inspirational quotes. Serious kudos to Google on this one.
