A student who received outstanding GCSE results has paid tribute to his NHS doctor dad – who tragically died from coronavirus while working on the front-line.

Taha Khan, 16, said he hoped his dad would be “proud” after picking up his results, including six top grade 9s, at school in Bolton, Greater Mancs., on Thursday.

Dr Nasir Kahn, a consultant physician at Dewsbury and District Hospital, West Yorks., died after contracting the virus aged 46 at the height of the pandemic in April.

Speaking about Dr Khan, he said: “My dad was working when the virus happened when others took time off to be safe he still went to work,”

“I have done this for my father.”

Headteacher Martin Knowles said: “Taha is such a bright and motivated pupil from a wonderful family.
