An absolute inspiration, true friend and lovely lady, who dedicated so much of her life to her students. She will be greatly missed and it has been such a privilege to have known her and to have shared so many wonderful days together, memories which I will indeed cherish for the rest of my life.

Delia was by far the best teacher I ever had the pleasure to work with. She was kind, generous with her time and was loved by everyone that met her. She will be sorely missed and I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet and work with her.

So sorry to hear the sad news of Mrs Sykes’ passing. She was a wonderful lady and the best maths teacher in the world! I love this photo, she was beautiful inside and out. My thoughts are with her family. Sleep tight Mrs Sykes, love Lucy xx

Delia was a lovely beautiful lady, she helped me through my devastating diagnosis following radical mastectomy in April 2009 in the RVI. Always stopped to speak when we meet in Morpeth with her lovely smile enquiring about me and the family.
RIP Delia x
