Lancashire teacher falls to her death

A teacher from Lancashire's died after falling 100 feet off a cliff in Austria.

Alison Knott -who was 42 and from Thornton - was on a hiking holiday with her husband.

She lost her balance - and frantically called out to her husband - but all he could do was watch on - as she plummeted to the rocks below - she died instantly of massive head injuries

Alison's body's expected to be flown home later this week - her husband is still in Austria being treated for shock.

Leave your tributes below.
