A fundraising appeal to create a memorial garden in memory of a much-loved teacher who died from coronavirus has reached more than double its target.
Miles Lewis, 54, had been a teacher at Samuel Whitbread Academy in Clifton for 26 years and was later assistant headteacher at the Academy of Central Bedfordshire, which has a campus in Stotfold.
Miles - who leaves behind his wife Yolanda, children Freya and Harry, step-children Kayte and Nathan, and grandchildren Ava and Jackson - died last Saturday, January 9, at Bedford Hospital.
