The family of teacher Ann Maguire, who was stabbed to death at a school in Leeds, have described her as "a shining light" who "brightened the world".

In a statement, her family said they were "devastated" at her death.

Every seat was taken in Court 20 at Leeds Youth Court.
In court were the parents of the 15-year-old boy accused of Ann Maguire's murder, to whom he nodded as he walked in.
Also in court was Mrs Maguire's husband - who stared intently at the youth - and her daughters and a nephew.
The boy said, "yeah" four times in reply to questions asked.
He will appear via video-link in front of Leeds Crown Court on Friday.
The boy, who cannot be named, is due to appear via video-link at Leeds Crown Court on Friday.
In the statement, issued by West Yorkshire Police, Mrs Maguire's family described her as "a loving wife, the best mother, a treasured sister, a true friend".
"We are devastated. Her selfless, genuine, caring nature will remain with us eternally," they added.
Family members said they were "overwhelmed" by the support, sympathy and tributes they had received which were "a source of great comfort at this dark time".
The statement added: "Ann, we will love you always, your loving family."
Mrs Maguire, who taught Spanish, was due to retire in September after a 40-year career.
She had joined Corpus Christi, a 950-pupil college in the Halton Moor area of Leeds, as a student teacher and last year the school had celebrated her 40th year of service.
Mrs Maguire lived in the Moortown area of Leeds with her husband, Donald, and is understood to have had two daughters.
Hundreds of floral tributes have been laid outside the school by current and former pupils since Monday.
A book of condolence was also opened at the church that adjoins the school.
The Pope, Prime Minister David Cameron and opposition leader Ed Miliband have each paid tribute to Mrs Maguire.
