A family has paid tribute to a former head teacher, describing him as a man who was 'charismatic and generous" with a "huge personality'.

Ahmad Khan, who was the former head of Charnwood Primary School, in the Highfields area, died on Monday at the age of 84.

From the mid-70s he taught at Newry Junior School in Leicester, before he moved to Charnwood Primary School in 1988, where he retired.

In 1998, Mr Khan received an MBE for services to education at the birthday honours. The grandfather and father-of-two was also the founding member and chairman of the Federation of Muslim Organisations in Leicester.

Mr Khan's daughter, Munazza, spoke to 蜜芽传媒 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
