Helen was our pride and joy...she lit up a room

TRIBUTES are continuing to flood in for headteacher and former Olympic swimmer Helen Smart, as her grieving parents ask how she 'could just simply go to sleep and not wake up!

British Swimming said it was 'deeply saddened' to hear of the 42-year-old's sudden death, which was announced earlier this week by her school, as top Team GB swimmers spoke of their loss and paid tribute to her character and career.

Mrs Smart was head of Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School on Clifton Street, Wigan.

Alison Halliwell, chair of governors, said on the school's Facebook page on Monday: "It is with great sadness and regret that I have to announce the sudden death of our beloved headteacher, Mrs Helen Smart. Our heart-felt condolences are sent to Helen's family at this very difficult time."
