Tributes have been paid to "a wonderful, beautiful, talented, devoted and loving" teacher who has died at the age of 28.

Chantele Adady, who taught at Alec Hunter Humanities College in Braintree, died suddenly of natural causes at her home in Brisbane, Australia.

She came to England in 2001 to teach English and drama.

While working in Braintree she fell in love with fellow teacher Abdallah Adady.

She returned to Australia in 2004, fearing her grandmother would pass away before she had the chance to say goodbye, and took up her previous teaching post in Brisbane.

The couple got married in October 2005, and Mr Adady left his teaching post of 16 years to move to Australia.
