Record GCSE results
Britain's teenagers have notched up record GCSE results as the number of top grades soared higher than ever.
The number of A* or A grades rose to more than one in five (20.7%) for the first time and 65.7% of candidates were awarded a C grade or above.
But the celebrations were marred by two deaths. Esther Bush, 16, was killed by a lorry in Wales and Ahmed Benyermak, also 16, fell from flats in London.
