HOLT SCHOOL pupils, staff and parents came together this morning to honour James Furlong.

The history teacher was a popular member of the school and was a victim of the Forbury Gardens terrorist attack on Saturday. 

At 10am, school co-headteachers Katie Pearce and Anne Kennedy led a two-minute silence watched by hundreds of pupils. 

Afterwards they read a tribute to Mr Furlong. 

Pupils at the all-female school have been leaving heartfelt tributes to Mr Furlong outside the school gates. 

Afterwards they were able to visit nearby St Paul’s Church on reading Road to light a candle in his memory. 

The queue stretched across the churchyard as tearful pupils lined up to pay their respects.
