Pupils, colleagues and friends of Ann Maguire - shown here in a photograph placed outside the Leeds school where she was stabbed yesterday - have been paying tribute to the 'inspirational teacher'

Students taught by Mrs Maguire say they have been left devastated by the news of her death. The attack happened in front of other children at Corpus Christi Catholic College

Nichola Davies, 34, broke down as she arrived at her former school on Monday. She said: "She was just amazing. She was such an incredible lady. It's just so heartbreaking, it really is."

Mrs Maguire has been described as a fantastic teacher who 'could not do enough for people'

Following Monday's stabbing, members of the community gathered at Corpus Christi Catholic Church to pay their respects

Many lit candles in memory of Mrs Maguire, who has been described as 'the heart of the school'

Hundreds of people crammed into the pews of the church

The school itself opened as usual on Tuesday as police continued to question a 15-year-old boy about the attack

Mrs Maguire's death is thought to be the first time a teacher has been stabbed to death in a British classroom, and the first killing of a teacher in a school since the 1996 Dunblane massacre

Many in the community say they are still trying to come to terms with what happened

Among tributes left outside the school was a shirt from members of the school's Year 11 football team
