The husband of a much-loved school headteacher has told how she died after going to the doctors with what she thought was a stitch.
Ros Atkins died on October 3 last year just a year after being diagnosed with stage four terminal bowel cancer.
The 43 year old primary school head was on holiday in Scotland with her husband John and their daughter Maggie, then aged six, when she first started experiencing pain in the right side of her body.
