A heartbroken father has paid tribute to his teenage son, who tragically died during a school lesson.

Jamie Bucknell, 14, collapsed and died in front of shocked classmates at Huntington School, in York, last week.

Hundreds of relatives and friends packed into the garrison church at Strensall to hear his father, Keith, speak of a youngster with "an amazing smile and an infectious laugh."

"He was always putting other people's feelings first. He couldn't even leave the dinner table without thanking his mother for the meal," he said.

"He had such an amazing smile and an infectious laugh - it sparkled so much it lit up the room. He had so many expectations and ambitions, but the biggest one he achieved with ease. That was to make me and his mum Debbie proud."

The service also included readings from Jamie's teachers and other members of his family.
