Memorial Service For Stabbed Leeds Teacher

Hundreds of people have gathered for a memorial service in Leeds to remember teacher Ann Maguire.

The 61-year-old was stabbed while teaching a Spanish lesson at Corpus Christi Catholic College in April.

The mother-of-two had taught at the school for more than 40 years. She was due to retire this month.

The memorial service at Leeds Town Hall was led by Reverend Monsignor John Wilson, of the Catholic Diocese of Leeds.

Organisers said beforehand the event would be "a celebration of Mrs Maguire's life in song, on screen and through words".

Members of the public were invited to join Mrs Maguire's family, colleagues and pupils at the memorial.

Some 300 people attended Mrs Maguire's funeral mass in May. A long line of flowers and tributes were also laid outside the school.
