Judges and barristers paid tribute to a former Oxford circuit judge who has died, aged 68.

Judge Paul Clark heard cases in the city from 1985 until 2003. He was also a trustee of the city's Ashmolean Museum.

Paying tribute to him during a special gathering at Oxford Crown Court on Wednesday, Judge Patrick Eccles said: "I am personally very grateful for having known Paul Clark. I knew and valued him as a friend."
