A deputy head teacher has been killed by cows while out walking in North Yorkshire.

The incident happened when Dave Clark, who taught at Richmond School, was in a field by Hurgill Road in Richmond, North Yorkshire, on Monday evening.

North Yorkshire Police are working to establish the events surrounding his death, BBC News reported.

In a tribute to Mr Clark, head teacher of Richmond School, Jenna Potter, said he was a "simply lovely man".

"He was an enormous character, a brilliant school leader and simply a lovely man who enriched the life of everyone he came into contact with, just by being himself and doing what he did every day", she said.

Mr Clark joined the school in 1997 and had been promoted to deputy head in 2003.

Ms Potter said he was highly regarded by staff and pupils and always expected high standards from his students.

She added: "All of this Dave did with a smile and a level of kindness and care that is seldom seen".
