BBC Radio Derby presenter Colin Bloomfield has died aged 33.

The popular broadcaster touched thousands of listeners with his openness and optimism as he battled skin cancer.
A charity appeal prompted by his diagnosis has so far raised more than Â£62,000 in just over two months.
Bloomfield, who worked at the station for 10 years as a presenter, reporter and a Derby County commentator, died at a hospice near Shrewsbury.
He had a malignant melanoma removed from his leg 10 years ago but in 2013 learned the cancer had returned.
Last year, he was told it had spread and was given months to live.
One Direction singer Niall Horan said on Twitter: "Sad to hear to hear of the passing of Colin Bloomfield today, he was a super great guy, great commentator."
Radio Derby's editor Simon Cornes said: "Reporter, producer, commentator, presenter  - Colin was all of those.
"You're lucky in radio if you're good at one of these things but Colin's talent was a rare one and he was extraordinarily accomplished at all of them. He made it seem easy. We know it isn't.
"If you were designing the perfect colleague you'd come up with Colin. His modesty was disarming but it was his warmth and his positive attitude to life that made him so popular with everyone at Radio Derby.
"We've lost our friend but it's a mark of the man that so many of our listeners feel they've lost their friend too. All of us are going to miss him dreadfully."
Derby County spokesman Colin Gibson, who had worked with Bloomfield at BBC Radio Derby, said: "As a broadcaster he was the consummate professional.
"He could be - at one time - eulogising about what was happening at Neighbours and the next turn he'd being interviewing the prime minister and he would do them both brilliantly. He could really turn his hand to anything.
"His bravery during his fight with cancer had to be admired, preferring always to talk about the Rams or his beloved Shrewsbury Town rather than the pain he was going through."
Derby County president Sam Rush said: "He will be sadly missed by everyone at Derby County Football Club as we had a tremendous working relationship with him.
"He can only be described as an inspirational individual and both a wonderful and humble young man."
"He was someone that we had the utmost respect for, especially for the way in which he conducted himself during the difficult times he faced."
Earlier this year, working with the Derby Telegraph and charity Skcin, the presenter launched the Colin Bloomfield Melanoma Appeal.
The money will be used to make hundreds of schools in Derbyshire and East Staffordshire "sun safe", by educating youngsters about skin cancer prevention.
BBC Radio presenter Sally Pepper is running the London Marathon on Sunday to raise money for the appeal.
Bloomfield has received a series of standing ovations by football supporters - including at the Rams' Championship match against Brentford on 11 April when fans chanted his name in the 33rd minute.


Fernando Torres struck a late equaliser to spare Chelsea the embarrassment of being knocked out of the FA Cup by League One Brentford at Griffin Park.

The £50m Spain striker equalised seven minutes from time as Brentford threatened to heap even more misery on Chelsea and interim manager Rafael Benitez after their midweek Capital One Cup semi-final elimination against Swansea City.
Brentford, third in the third tier of English football, were the better side for long spells in this fourth round tie and twice held the lead through Marcello Trotta's first-half goal and Harry Forrester's penalty 17 minutes from time.
With Chelsea on the brink of an ignominious exit and Benitez facing increasing hostility from the travelling supporters packed at one end of Griffin Park, Torres curled in a superb finish to give the Premier League side the relief of a replay.
Brentford's fans gave their side a standing ovation after an outstanding effort that earns them a lucrative replay at Stamford Bridge - but for a few moments they were dreaming of an even bigger reward.
For Chelsea, the draw was gratefully accepted and they deserve some credit for digging out the result after struggling for so long.
FA Cup holders Chelsea are unbeaten in 25 FA Cup matches (W20, D5), and have lost only one of their last 36 in the regulation 90 minutes.
Griffin Park was liberally laced with everything that makes the FA Cup special - complete with the sort of heavily sanded-surface that can close gaps between teams.
And Chelsea's unease was evident in an early breakdown in communication between captain John Terry - starting his first game under Benitez after injury - and Ross Turnbull which resulted in the 'keeper picking up his backpass in the area. It presented Brentford with a clear opportunity but Forrester, faced with a 10-man Chelsea wall, shot over.
Brentford's brisk tempo unsettled Chelsea, who were not helped by their own lame response to the determination of the Bees to deny them time and space and drive forward at every opportunity.
As Brentford's confidence increased and with it their domination, Adam Forshaw was only inches away from giving them the lead from 20 yards.

The goal they deserved came three minutes before the interval when Turnbull - a desperately uncertain figure throughout - could only push out Forrester's shot after Frank Lampard conceded possession. Trotta took time to steady himself before sending a powerful finish past the stranded keeper.
It resulted in Benitez receiving a furious response from Chelsea's supporters as he made his way off in front of them at half-time - treatment that was repeated when he emerged for the second half.
Benitez made an inevitable change at the restart, sending on Juan Mata for the anonymous Marko Marin, but it was Oscar who provided the moment of inspiration to draw Chelsea level.
He showed quick feet and great imagination inside the area before sending a right-foot strike high past Brentford keeper Simon Moore.
Moore, who had been untroubled until Oscar's goal, was then in action again to save from Mata as Chelsea sensed they were finally exerting some control on proceedings.
Brentford, however, showed real character to rebuild momentum and edge their way back into the game, a strength rewarded as they regained the lead with 17 minutes left.
Clayton Donaldson played in Tom Adeyemi, on for goalscorer Trotta, and he was dragged down by Turnbull as he raced from goal. The keeper was shown the yellow card and Forrester kept his composure to beat Turnbull powerfully to his right from the spot.
Benitez introduced Demba Ba to try to spare Chelsea's humiliation but it was the much-criticised Torres who did the job for his manager with an instinctive curled finish beyond the reach of Moore.
Brentford held on but survived one huge stoppage time scare when Harlee Dean handled Mata's chip into the area but referee Jon Moss ignored Chelsea's frantic appeals.

The Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry is to run for a year longer than originally planned.

The extension, which will add an extra Â£4m to the final bill, was approved by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The inquiry is examining allegations of child abuse in children's homes and other residential institutions in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995.
It had been due to deliver its final report in January 2016 but has been granted more time due to its workload.
The public inquiry, chaired by retired High Court judge Sir Anthony Hart, is being held in Banbridge courthouse, County Down.
MLAs were told that Sir Anthony made a compelling case for the deadline extension, because of the number of witnesses who have come forward to testify and the amount of allegations he has to investigate.
However, some victims and survivors of institutional abuse have called for an interim report to be published and for compensation payments to begin before the conclusion of the inquiry.
Campaigners said that many victims of institutional abuse are elderly and some died before they were called to testify.
They said more victims may die before they see the final report in January 2017, or have the opportunity to benefit from a redress scheme.
The HIA inquiry was first announced in 2010 and was formally set up by the Office of the First and Deputy First Ministers (OFMDFM) on 31 May 2012.
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt chairs the Stormont committee that scrutinises the work of office.
Speaking in the assembly on Tuesday, Mr Nesbitt asked OFMDFM Junior Minister Jennifer McCann to explain to victims why victims' request for an interim report was unreasonable.
Ms McCann replied that the chairman "wasn't in favour of doing an interim report because he felt it would delay the [final] report coming forward, and I have to say that we have to take on board what Judge Hart says".
It is not the first time MLAs have made changes to the HIA inquiry's timescale.
When it was originally announced in 2010, ministers initially said the public inquiry would examine abuse claims over a 50-year period from 1945 to 1995.
However, in October 2012, its remit was extended to investigate allegations dating back to the foundation of the state in 1922.


Oh, I see.
Well OK, not too much power then.
Across the world, political establishments are relearning an old lesson about the risky business of running a referendum.
A single-issue question, asked of angry disillusioned voters in an age of political rebellion, is always likely to produce some unexpected results.
Brexit in the UK was obviously one. The then Prime Minister David Cameron was convinced he had it in the bag - and look what happened to him.
And just last week the Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos asked the people if they approved of peace. After years of negotiations with Farc rebels, and decades of war, how could they possibly say no?
But they did.
Complex agreements are sometimes reduced to gut instincts. "Yes or no" can be a divisive question - often lacking the compromise and balance needed to forge a parliamentary majority.
Even winning a referendum on paper can be portrayed as a defeat, because it can underline divisions in society over which leaders would prefer to draw a veil.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's call for Hungary to reject the EU's refugee quotas was approved by nearly everyone who voted. But a majority of Hungarians stayed at home, unwilling to act as foot soldiers in Mr Orban's cultural war with Brussels.
The referendum has always had a bit of a chequered history, as a device beloved of dictators from Napoleon to Hitler. It was a referendum in 1934 that merged the posts of chancellor and president of Germany, handing the Nazi fuehrer absolute power.
On the other hand, referendums have also been an important part of the quest for self-determination. Sometimes accompanied by violence, but also the cause of great rejoicing in many parts of the world - creating new countries from East Timor to Montenegro to South Sudan.
And in some well-established political systems, referendums have long been part of the furniture. The Swiss hold them all the time - nearly 200 in the last 20 years - on everything from building tunnels to tax policy to (yes, it pops up again) immigration.
Many states in the USA do the same thing.  It's direct democracy, built into the system and what could be fairer than that? "We, the people" will have our say.
But what does it mean for the role of parliaments or legislatures and politicians who, however unpopular they may become, have been elected by those same people?
Critics see it as an abdication of responsibility, with all the danger that implies: a chance for populism to take centre stage, bypassing institutions that have been carefully created to provide democratic balance.
But therein lies the problem. In much of the world politics has become a dirty word and a referendum has become a chance to stick two fingers up to the system.
Arguments are magnified on social media, where half-truths and conspiracy theories jostle for attention with facts and simple slogans often win the day.
So political leaders are learning not to take anything for granted - and that's got to be a good thing. Complacency has taken a kicking.
But you would do well to get used to this new age of referendums, because they are going to keep on coming.
If the Brexit vote wasn't enough for you, there's another one looming in Europe that could shake things up in unpredictable ways.
The Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has vowed to resign if he fails to get constitutional changes approved by the electorate in a referendum in December.
Political instability in Italy is probably the last thing Europe needs.
But it is the people who will decide.


Video footage has emerged of the moment a man posed for a picture with an alleged hijacker wearing a suspected suicide belt.

The original image of Ben Innes, grinning next to his captor on the Egyptair flight, went viral on social media.
Mr Innes, based in Aberdeen, told the Sun newspaper he wanted to "stay cheerful in the face of adversity".
Video footage showing cabin crew taking the photo has now appeared online.
Seif al-Din Mustafa, described by Cypriot officials as being mentally disturbed, used a fake suicide belt to hijack the Egyptair flight and forced it to fly to Larnaca.
He was arrested after a stand-off in Cyprus and the suicide belt was found to be fake.
Mr Innes told the Sun: "I'm not sure why I did it - I just threw caution to the wind while trying to stay cheerful in the face of adversity."
He said the photo, which was taken by a member of the cabin crew, was the "best selfie ever".


Welsh cyclist Luke Rowe says changes to the sport must be made following the death of Antoine Demoitie.

Belgian cyclist Demoitie died after a collision with a motorbike during Belgium's Gent-Wevelgem race.
The 25-year-old was hit by the motorbike after several riders came down in a crash as the race passed through northern France.
"The main issues come when cars or motorbikes have to pass the peloton and pass riders," Team Sky's Rowe said.
"That is the fundamental issue we're looking into.
"There's a lot of motorbikes in and around the race whether it be cameras for TV, photographers or police motorbikes.
"In total there's around 50 motorbikes that work on each race.
"We've got a riders union and we're coming together to think of a few ideas, whether we cap a speed limit on how fast they can overtake us.
"Say we put a 10 kilometres per hour limit on it, if we're going 50kph they're only allowed to pass us 60kph or something like that."
Demoitie, who was riding for the Wanty-Gobert team, was taken to hospital in Lille but died later.
The sport's governing body, the UCI, said it would co-operate with all relevant authorities in an investigation into the incident.
The Professional Cyclists' Association (CPA) issued a statement asking what would be done to improve safety.
Despite Demoitie's death, attitudes to road racing will stay the same says Rowe, who has been competing in Three Days of De Panne race in Belgium.
"As soon as that element of fear slips into your mind and you start thinking of things that could happen, that's when you're doomed to fail," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"If you start thinking about crashes and the consequences and what could potentially happen then you're never going to be at the front of the peloton and you're never going to win any races."
In a separate incident, another Belgian cyclist, Daan Myngheer, 22, died in hospital after suffering a heart attack during the first stage of the Criterium International in Corsica.


The Philippines military says 18 soldiers have been killed in fierce fighting with Islamist militants in the south of the country.

It says more than 50 other soldiers were wounded on Saturday during the clashes with members of the Abu Sayyaf group on Basilan island.
Five militants including a Moroccan national were killed, the army said.
The army was reportedly targeting an Abu Sayyaf commander who has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group.
The US government has offered a reward of up to $5m (Â£3.5m) for information leading to the capture of Isnilon Hapilon.
The Islamic State threat in South East Asia
At least four of the soldiers were beheaded in the clashes with about 100 Abu Sayyaf militants, AFP quoted a regional military spokesman as saying.
"Our group was heading to attack them. On the way, they were ambushed," Colonel Benedict Manquiquis, spokesman for the army unit involved in the battle, told radio station DZRH.
"The enemy had the high ground so no matter where our soldiers fled to seek cover, they could still be hit by the heavy firepower and improvised explosive devices," he said.
Among the five militants killed were a Moroccan, Mohammed Khattab, and one of Hapilon's sons, Ubaida, Reuters reported.
Government forces had moved against Abu Sayyaf after a series of abductions of foreigners, regional military spokesman Major Filemon Tan said.
On Friday a retired Italian priest being held hostage by the group was released after six months in captivity.
Eighteen other foreign hostages including two Canadians and a Norwegian are being held in the Philippines.
Almost all are thought to be in the hands of the Abu Sayyaf group in encampments on Jolo island, near Basilan island.
The Abu Sayyaf group was set up in the early 1990s with money from al-Qaeda.


Two goals by in-form striker James McLaughlin saw Coleraine progress to the League Cup semi-finals at the expense of derby rivals Ballymena.

McLaughlin netted the opener in the 13th minute when Lyndon Kane found Jamie McGonigle who provided the final pass into the danger area.
The second goal came on 71 minutes when McLaughlin went through to coolly shoot under the body of keeper Dwayne Nelson.
Ballymena scored a late goal through defender Kyle McVey.
But it came too late to prevent what was a deserved win for Coleraine who are fourth in the Premiership table.
Oran Kearney's men have gone nine matches unbeaten in the league and now look forward to Saturday's draw for the cup semi-finals.
Ballymena went into the game without the suspended David Cushley and Matthew Tipton and they were forced on the back foot in the early stages.
Ian Parkhill struck a post with a shot before McLaughlin netted his 13th goal of the season.
Early in the second half Ballymena's Willie Faulkner had a shot palmed away by visiting keeper Michael Doherty.
Sky Blues boss sent on substitutes Matthew Shevlin and Darren Henderson in an effort to change things.
But soon after that McLaughlin made it 2-0 to the Bannsiders.
McVey's 89th-minute tap-in, after Doherty had parried out a long-range Mark Magennis free-kick, gave United brief hope of forcing extra-time, but Coleraine closed out the 2-1 victory.
Coleraine manager Oran Kearney: "The objective on nights like these is to get through - the big thing is getting your name in the hat.
"The goal for Ballymena gave us three minutes of madness which we could have done without. It was a wee lapse at a set piece.
"But there is a big hunger in the team and they ground it out well."
Ballymena United manager Glenn Ferguson: "Coleraine deserved to win - we did not put them under enough pressure to get something out of the game.
"We did not have enough quality."


Cambodia's charismatic opposition leader, Sam Rainsy, says he will step down "for the sake of his party".

It comes after Prime Minister Hun Sen proposed banning anyone convicted of a crime from leading a political party.
Mr Rainsy has faced several lawsuits from the government and is currently abroad to avoid a two-year prison sentence for defamation.
His Cambodia National Rescue Party is seen as the main challenger to Hun Sen, who has led Cambodia since 1985.
Mr Rainsy announced his resignation on social media, but said: "In all circumstances I continue to cherish and uphold the CNRP's [Cambodia National Rescue Party's] ideals in my heart."
His party has described the defamation charges against him as politically motivated.
The CNRP made strong gains in the disputed 2013 elections, taking 55 seats while Hun Sen's party took 68.
Cambodia's next general election is scheduled for 2018.


Japan's Justice Minister Midori Matsushima has resigned, hours after the resignation of Trade and Industry Minister Yuko Obuchi.

Ms Matsushima had been accused by the opposition of violating election laws.
Ms Obuchi is alleged to have misused funds from her political support groups and other donations.
Correspondents say the resignations are a major setback for PM Shinzo Abe, who wants to bring more women into the top levels of government.
Mr Abe said he took responsibility for having appointed both women, and that they would be replaced within a day. Both are members of his governing conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
Ms Obuchi, 40, was one of five women appointed by Mr Abe in his cabinet reshuffle last month and was tipped by some as a future prime minister.
But allegations emerged last week that her staff had misused thousands of dollars of campaign funds.
Ms Obuchi has not acknowledged personal wrongdoing, but at a televised press conference on Monday, she said she was resigning because "we cannot let economic policy and energy policy stagnate... because of my problems".
"I take seriously the impact I have caused," she said. She also apologised for being unable to contribute to key goals set by Mr Abe, including economic recovery and "a society where women shine".
Hours later Mr Abe announced that Ms Matsushima, 58, had also resigned.
She had distributed paper fans carrying her image and policies at a festival in her constituency, said NHK.
The opposition Democratic Party filed a criminal complaint against her on Friday, and demanded her resignation, saying this was an apparent violation of election law and rules on usage of political funds.
The BBC's Japan correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes says that this is not the end of Mr Abe's problems concerning his new female ministers.
Eriko Yamatani, minister in charge of the North Korean abduction issue, was shown in photographs with members of an ultra-nationalist group accused of hate speech against Japan's ethnic Korean community.
Mr Abe's first term as prime minister in 2006-2007 saw a string of scandals amongst his ministers, eventually leading to his own resignation for health reasons after just one year in office.


An oak tree associated with the Robin Hood legend has lost its bid to be named the best in Europe.

The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, which is thought to be up to 1,000 years old, came up against 13 other trees in a public vote.
It had won England's first Tree of the Year competition in November, but lost out on Euro glory to a tree in Estonia.
Nottinghamshire County Council said it was pleased the competition gave the Major Oak such a high profile.

The winning specimen, "Oak tree on a football field" in Estonia, landed 32% of the 185,000 votes cast across Europe.
The Major Oak came sixth with 9,941 votes, making it the highest placed British tree. Scotland's Lady's Tree and the Lonely Tree of Llanfyllin in Wales came ninth and tenth.
Councillor John Knight, chairman of the culture committee at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: "We are very pleased the Major Oak has enjoyed a high profile throughout the competition and we hope it will encourage our European neighbours to want to visit the iconic tree in Robin Hood's county."
Jill Butler, the Woodland Trust's ancient tree expert, said: "It is clear some of our European cousins place huge cultural importance on their special trees and it's something we need to adopt in the UK too."

A committee of scientists has advised the government to halve the current recommended daily intake of sugar.

Nutrition experts say no more than 5% of daily calories should come from added sugar - about seven teaspoons.
Most people consume at least twice this limit.
The government has said it will accept the recommendations and will use them to develop its national strategy on childhood obesity, which is due out later this year.
The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN), which advises Public Health England and other government agencies on nutrition, wants the recommended daily intake of sugar to be halved to reduce obesity risk and improve dental health.
Prof Ian Macdonald, chair of the working group of the committee, said: "The evidence is stark - too much sugar is harmful to health and we all need to cut back.
"The clear and consistent link between a high-sugar diet and conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes is the wake-up call we need to rethink our diet.
"Cut down on sugars, increase fibre and we'll all have a better chance of living longer, healthier lives."
Free sugars
The guidelines, which apply from the age of two, are in line with new World Health Organization proposals.
Prof Judith Buttriss of the British Nutrition Foundation said the type of sugar targeted was known as free sugar - all the different types of sugar in the diet, excluding the sugars that are found naturally in fruit and milk.
"What the recommendations are saying is we've all got to cut down so we're getting no more than 5% of our total from these free sugars," she told the BBC Today Programme.
According to health experts, 5% of daily energy intake is the equivalent of 19g or five sugar cubes for children aged four to six, 24g or six sugar cubes for children aged seven to 10, and 30g or seven sugar cubes for those aged 11 and over, based on average diets.
The main sources of sugar in the diet are sweetened drinks and cereal, confectionery, fruit juice, and sugar added at the table.
A single can of fizzy drink contains about nine teaspoons of sugar.
The British Dental Association (BDA) has called on the government to take heed of the latest advice.
Tooth decay is the biggest cause of hospital admissions among young children.
Mick Armstrong, chairman of the BDA, said: "The government now has the evidence and a clear duty to send the strongest possible signal to the food industry that while added sugar might be helping their sales, it is hurting their customers."
The food industry has said calories in household foods and drinks have been gradually lowered in recent years, including sugar reductions and changes to portion sizes.
The Food and Drink Federation described the goals set out in the report as "stretching".
Director general Ian Wright said: "The most thorough scientific review of carbohydrates and health carried out in recent years should leave people in no doubt that sugars can be enjoyed safely as part of a varied and balanced diet."
He added: "Demonising any one ingredient in the obesity debate isn't helpful."

It is one thing setting out what people should aspire to eat, quite another making it happen.
Achieving the expected threshold for added sugar - no more than 5% of calories consumed - will be a challenge for government, industry and the public.
At the moment, the average intake in all age groups is at least twice this limit.
The health arguments are compelling, but will people want to change their eating patterns, and will they be able to afford it?
The food industry says it is already working to cut added sugars.
Some health campaigners say clearer labelling will be needed so people can see at a glance how many teaspoons of sugar have gone into each portion.
Many health campaigners want to see a tax on sugar, with doctors' leaders joining the call this week.
The British Medical Association said a 20% levy on sugary drinks would be a step towards the long-term goal of taxing a wide range of products in the fight against obesity.
The government has said it will not be introducing a sugar tax.
On Friday, the head of the NHS, Simon Stevens, said the price of sugary drinks should be increased to pay for the living wage.
Mr Stevens said it would benefit parents, children and low-paid workers.
He stopped short of recommending a tax on sugar, but said if progress cutting sugar from diets did not happen a "regulatory backstop" would be needed.
Responding to the comments, Ian Wright of the Food and Drink Federation, said the "obsession" with a single ingredient was "unhelpful to consumers trying to achieve balanced healthier diets, and to food and drink companies wanting to help customers towards all dietary recommendations".


A man who beheaded an elderly woman in her garden in an attack of "extraordinary brutality" has been cleared of murder on the grounds of insanity.

Nicholas Salvador killed 82-year-old Palmira Silva in September last year.
The 25-year-old believed he was seeing demons and "ran amok" through back gardens in Edmonton, north London before the attack, the court heard.
He will be detained indefinitely in a psychiatric hospital.
Recorder of London Nicholas Hilliard QC told Salvador: "It is established beyond any doubt that you killed Mrs Silva in an attack of extraordinary brutality and ferocity.
"You thought you were encountering some demonic force which had taken on a human form. You could not have been more deluded.
"Nobody who saw it could forget the mild and trusting way Mrs Silva approached you over the wall while you were brandishing a knife."
He said Mrs Silva was a "gentle, intelligent" woman who deserved to live her life "in peace and with security, proud in the achievements of others".
The Old Bailey heard Salvador vaulted into Mrs Silva's garden and, after a brief exchange, stabbed her repeatedly before cutting her head off.
Her granddaughter Christina Silva said: "You don't really know how to comprehend this happened, you still to this day think it is a big nightmare and you think you're going to wake up and everything will be fine."
She added: "Every day I wake up and replay the attack on my grandmother in my head. Since the attack I have completely changed from the person I used to be.
"The thought of being alone in the house terrifies me."
Mrs Silva's daughter, Celestina Muis, said her mother's death had devastated the whole family who "no longer feel safe".
She said: "Palmira had a full life, loving her children, grandchildren and great grandchild. She was very much the glue that held us all together.
"Our lives have been torn apart knowing what happened to my mother."
Mrs Silva's family wiped away tears and hugged each other as the verdict was read out in court.
CCTV footage showed Salvador killing two cats before targeting Mrs Silva. He lost his job three days before the incident, and smoked skunk cannabis, the court heard.
His trial heard two psychiatrists agreed he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
When he carried out the killing, he believed Mrs Silva was a supernatural entity, either Adolf Hitler back from the dead or a demon who had taken the form of an old lady, jurors heard.
He was staying with friends three doors away from the Italian-born grandmother's house in Nightingale Road when he went on the rampage.
Salvador was remanded in custody at Belmarsh prison but, due to his mental state, he was moved to high-security Broadmoor Hospital.
Enfield Inspector Doug Skinner said the there were children playing in nearby gardens when Salvador was jumping over fences.
"We genuinely thought he would kill those children and we were filled with utter terror," he said.
In court, Salvador's barrister Bernard Richmond said he was regarded as a decent man, when he was not unwell.
He said: "Mental illness in whatever circumstances can be terrifying for the person and one of the things we have to bear in mind that, after this case is finished, he will have to continue, as his mental state improves, coming to terms with the horror of what he did when he was unwell."


Rushanara Ali is entering the contest to be deputy Labour leader, with a pledge to target former supporters who have switched to UKIP.

She becomes the sixth Labour MP to declare that they want to succeed Harriet Harman in post.
Ms Ali told 5 live's Pienaar's Politics: "We should be radical and imaginative. What have we got to lose?"
"I'm going to start with going after UKIP voters who left Labour. We have to talk to people who rejected us."
Asked how that would work with voters who have problems with multi-culturalism, she said: "I grew up in a working-class community. Some of my neighbours were not very friendly.
"I'm used to rejection so I think I have something to offer... I know what it feels like to be an outsider trying to get in... I think a lot of our voters feel like that - that they just couldn't get through to us."
Asked who she would back for leader, Ms Ali says: "I'm going to meet every single one of them. I will reserve my right to use my nomination powers to help someone struggling in the race get what they need to stand."
She says Keith Vaz and Tristram Hunt are two MPs who have said they would back her bid.
The other declared candidates for deputy leader are Stella Creasy, Tom Watson, Ben Bradshaw, Angela Eagle and Caroline Flint.
The candidates for Labour leader are Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Mary Creagh and Liz Kendall.
Earlier on Sunday former deputy Labour leader Lord Prescott told the Sunday Mirror he would be backing Andy Burnham for leader.
And Harriet Harman told the Andrew Marr Show that the leadership contests must not just be about who the best leader was, but what direction the party should take.
She said it would be "quite wrong" for Labour to "minimise the scale of our defeat", especially given that it came despite a "lack of love for the Tories".
Ms Harman also said she thought that either the leader or deputy leader positions must be filled by a woman, saying she had never been a fan of all-male leadership teams.
She also said that hundreds of thousands of people who voted Labour "but would never join the party" would be able to vote in the leader and deputy leader elections - something welcomed on the same programme by former David Cameron adviser Steve Hilton.
Mr Hilton, who added that he had been a long-time fan of Ms Harman's work on gender equality, said it was important to get more people involved in politics.


Former Inverness Caledonian Thistle boss John Hughes says he left the club in May because he felt his time there was "turning a bit sour".

He guided the Highland club to a League Cup final, Scottish Cup victory, third in the Premiership and into Europe.
It was reported his exit was because of disagreements with Caley chairman Kenny Cameron over the budget for players.
But Hughes insists the problem wasn't the money available, but what he felt was the board's lack of trust in him.
"I've been in the game for 14 years, I've had great success, taken two clubs into Europe, produced players," he told BBC Scotland's Sportsound.
"You need to trust me that I know what I'm doing and I just felt that trust wasn't there.
"Kenny Cameron is not a bad lad. It got a bit sour towards the end, but I've texted him since and we've been in touch. I'm 100% convinced he does what he thinks is the best for Inverness.
"I felt I knew how to take the club forward, and I just felt my ideas weren't getting taken on board. It was nothing to do with the budget. I've never been a chequebook manager."
Dundee United approached Inverness last season asking for permission to speak to Hughes about the managerial vacancy at Tannadice after Jackie McNamara left the club.
Permission was refused, but Hughes admitted he wanted to at least hear what Dundee United had to say.
"I was very content at Inverness, I'd just signed a two-year extension," he said. "But I've always been taught in all the licences you do, go to any interview you get a chance to go to. You might not get the job that time, but you might make an impression on people.
"I went for an interview a few years ago at Sheffield United. I got a second interview and eventually they gave the job to Davie Weir.
"But a guy in the interview process moved to another English club and after the Dundee United episode, they came calling. That other club asked permission to speak to me. We knocked that on the head and no-one knew about it. That's how committed I was to Inverness."
Hughes felt Richie Foran was likely to succeed him in the manager's job at Inverness, but only at the end of the contract extension Hughes signed.
He admits he did not see Foran as a coach, but says the 36-year-old Irishman will benefit from having Hughes' assistant, Brian Rice, at his side.
"He's probably been flung in at the deep end and I wish him all the best," Hughes said.
"He's a rookie. I don't think that coaching is his forte, coming up with ideas, being innovative, but that doesn't mean you can't become a good manager if you have other people doing that for you."
Having managed in England before at Hartlepool, Hughes is keen for his return to the game to be down south, and says he is ready to get back into management.
"I've recharged my batteries, taken time out, analysed it," he said. "I'd like an opportunity down in England again, hopefully in the Championship. It wouldn't faze me one bit."


A man has been given until the end of the month to remove a large mural from his house featuring a psychedelic rainbow, Glastonbury Tor and Excalibur.

Bill Knight commissioned artists to paint the wall of his Northload Street home in Glastonbury to deter taggers.
But due to its "scale, colours and style" his application for Listed Building Consent was rejected and now his appeal has been dismissed.
Inspectors said it was "harmful" to the area's heritage and should be removed.
The work, which is a "representation of all that is Glastonbury", features some of the myths and legends which the Somerset town is famous for.
Mr Knight, said he commissioned it after he got fed up with vandals attacking the plain wall of his house with graffiti and tags.
"I've been here all my life and my family before me 200 years - so I'm very proud of my town and if anything is detrimental for it I try to do something about it," he said.
"Most of the people who come to Glastonbury have got to pass it and consequently the graffiti was not giving a good impression.
"So I painted a mural with something which I though might solve the graffiti problem."
But last December, Mendip District Council refused planning consent for the "prominent" mural because it detracted from the "historic and architectural significance" of the building and would not "preserve or enhance the character or appearance" of the conservation area.
A council spokesperson said: "An appeal by the applicant was subsequently submitted to the Planning Inspectorate who also concluded that the mural would be harmful to the significance of the heritage assets identified and so the appeal was dismissed.
"The owner has been written to and asked for his proposals with reference to the removal of the mural within the next 21 days."


An Italian MEP has described the ideas of Norway's self-confessed mass killer, Anders Behring Breivik, as "good" and in some cases "excellent".

Mario Borghezio, who belongs to the Northern League party, condemned Mr Breivik's violence, but backed his stance against Islam.
The Northern League is a partner in PM Silvio Berlusconi's government.
Mr Borghezio's comments in a radio interview sparked outrage, with opposition calls for the MEP to resign.
Mr Breivik's justification for killing 76 people was that he wanted to inflict maximum damage on Norway's governing Labour Party because of its failure to clamp down on immigration.
"Some of the ideas he expressed are good, barring the violence. Some of them are great," Mario Borghezio told Il Sole-24 Ore radio station.
He agreed with Mr Breivik's "opposition to Islam and his explicit accusation that Europe has surrendered before putting up a fight against its Islamicisation".
The Northern League is an avowedly anti-immigration, regionalist Italian political party, key to the governing coalition, and known for its anti-Islamic rhetoric.
The controversy sparked swift reaction from fellow MEPs.
"My heart goes out to the victims of the atrocities that took place in Norway last week, and to their families. There can be no excuses, no justifications. This was nothing but an act of pure and unmitigated evil," said Nikki Sinclaire.
Ms Sinclaire resigned last year from the European Parliament umbrella group, Europe of Freedom & Democracy (EFD), which included her UK Independence Party, as well as Italy's Northern League. She cited the racism of Northern League members in making her decision.
"Mr Borghezio's reported comments are shocking and, if accurately reported, reprehensible. They are in no way reflective of UKIP's position or that of the EFD Group," said a UKIP spokesman.
But Mr Borghezio is not the only right-wing politician to express sympathy with the ideas of Anders Behring Breivik.
A member of France's far-right National Front party has been suspended after writing a defence of the Norwegian attacker on his blog.
Jacques Coutela described Mr Breivik as "the main defender of the West", comparing him to Charles Martel, a seventh century leader who halted Islamic expansion in western Europe.
"The reason for the Norway terror attacks: fighting the Muslim invasion, that's what people don't want you to know", read the post.
Mr Coutela stood as a National Front candidate in local elections in March.
"He was suspended today pending a party disciplinary committee," said Steeve Briois, the Front's general secretary.
Meanwhile, the leader of the English Defence League (EDL), Stephen Lennon, said the mass killing in Norway was a wake-up call.
"What happened in Oslo shows how desperate some people are becoming in Europe," said Mr Lennon, who was convicted earlier this week of leading a brawl involving 100 football fans.
"It's a ticking time bomb. If they don't give that frustration and anger a platform as such and a voice - and a way of getting emotion out in a democratic way - it will create monsters like this lunatic."
The EDL is also known for its strong stance against immigration.
Mr Breivik has posted admiring comments online about the EDL.
The League leadership is checking his claims to have contacts among its members.
Correction 28 July 2011: This story originally said that Mr Borghezio had shown sympathy with the actions of Mr Breivik; that has been changed to "ideas" rather than "actions".


A wide range of disorders and problems in school-age children have been linked to delayed fatherhood in a major study involving millions of people.

Increased rates of autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicide attempts and substance abuse problems were all reported.
The study, in JAMA Psychiatry, suggests mutated sperm were to blame.
However, experts say the benefits older dads bring may outweigh any problems.
The investigation by Indiana University, in the US, and Sweden's Karolinska Institute has been described as the largest and one of the best designed studies on the issue.
The researchers looked at 2.6 million people and at the difference between siblings born to the same father as it accounts for differences in upbringing between families.
Comparing children of a 45-year-old dad to those of a 24-year-old father it indicated:
There was no starting point after which the risk started to increase, rather any increase in age had an associated increase in risk.
However, the overall risk is likely to remain low. Even if a the risk of a rare disorder is doubled, it is still very unlikely to affect a child.
The problem is small increases in risk scaled up over millions of people having children later can lead to an increased incidence of such disorders.
One of the researchers, Dr Brian D'Onofrio, said he was shocked by the findings, which suggested a higher risk than previously estimated.
He told the BBC: "The implications of the study is that delaying childbearing is also associated with increased risk for psychiatric and academic problems in the offspring.
"The study adds to a growing body of research, that suggests families, doctors, and society as a whole must consider both the pros and cons of delaying childbearing."
Sperm are produced constantly throughout a man's lifetime. As the sperm-making mechanism ages, so too do the number of errors - older sperm have more mutations which may be damaging.
Dr James MacCabe, senior lecturer in psychosis at the Institute of Psychiatry: "I would make the point very strongly that men should not decide on whether or when to have children on a single study, or cumulative studies."
He said the risks were low and that even a doubling or trebling of risk would still affect a small proportion of people.
"Having said that, with the demographic change we have seen in the last decade, on a population level this is a concern and we might expect higher rates of psychoses now and in the future."
He added that older dads bring many advantages such as more stable relationships and higher income, which "probably outweigh" any risks.


Yorkshire have said they would be interested in hosting a day-night game in the County Championship in 2017.

England will play their first day-night Test when they host West Indies at Edgbaston in August.
Yorkshire say they were asked by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) about their willingness to move one of the Championship games at Headingley and would be interested in doing so.
The club's chief executive Mark Arthur called it a "great opportunity".
He said: "Until the fixture programme is published, we don't know when it will be or who the opposition is likely to be. But because we have got the best lights in the country for cricket purposes, then it's likely that we would be one of the selected grounds to host such an event.
"Hopefully when the fixture list comes out, it's something that all members and stakeholders will save a date for in their diary.
"Whether you're a club cricketer or a member who works 9-5 you'll be able to come along and watch two or three hours of Championship cricket after work and it will be very interesting to see what the uptake is on this initiative."
The start of the second ever day-night Test match between Pakistan and West Indies earlier in October drew a crowd of just 68 in Dubai.


Police have released images of eight people they want to speak to in connection with an anti-austerity protest after the general election.

Four police officers and a member of police staff were injured as riot police clashed with crowds on 9 May.
Graffiti referring to "Tory scum" was also daubed on The Women of World War II monument on Whitehall.
Fifteen people were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and three for assault.
All have been bailed pending further inquiries, police said.
The Met Police said one officer was treated at hospital for a suspected dislocated shoulder and a member of staff needed hospital treatment for a cut lip after being struck by an object.
Three other officers were assaulted but did not require hospital treatment.
Acting Cdr Colin Morgan, of the Public Order Command, said: "A number of officers were injured during the disorder and the Women In World War II Memorial was damaged with graffiti.
"I'm urging anyone who recognises these men to come forward and assist us with our investigation."
Hundreds of anti-government protesters, some holding placards reading "I pledge to resist" and "Stop the cuts", took part in the rally, which began outside Conservative Party headquarters.
After the protest, police said the "vast majority" of protesters had taken part peacefully but added a "small minority" had been intent on causing disorder.

Indigenous tribes, timber firms and environmental groups in western Canada have welcomed a deal to protect one of the world's largest remaining tracts of temperate rainforest.

The Great Bear Rainforest on the Pacific coast of British Columbia is home to many animals and ancient trees.
Logging will be banned across a huge area of the forest.
Environmental campaigners say the deal is a model for resolving similar land-use disputes around the world.
The forest is inhabited by the spirit bear, a rare sub-species of the black bear with white fur, and is also home to 26 aboriginal groups, known as First Nations.
"The Great Bear Rainforest, there's no question, it's a jewel in the crown of magnificent landscapes in British Columbia," Premier Christy Clark said on Monday.
She said the "landmark agreement" would protect old and second-growth forest, while simultaneously providing economic opportunities for aboriginal people  and local communities.
The province is expected to sign the new measures - which have been drafted after 10 years of often tense negotiations between the various concerned parties - into law in the spring.
The agreement bans logging in 85% of the rainforest and brings an end to hunting of the grizzly bear within First Nations territories. It also abolishes hunting in the region for the spirit bear, also known as the kermode bear.
The remaining 15% of the ancient forest will be subject to stringent standards applied elsewhere in North America for commercial logging.
The deal has been ratified by 26 aboriginal tribes that live alongside British Columbia's  coast, several environmental groups and five forestry companies.

The convener of Moray Council has called for party politics to be put aside over the potential closure of the Kinloss army barracks.

Moray MP Angus Robertson this week said he had been told by an "impeccable source" at the Ministry of Defence that the former air station could close.
SNP colleagues are calling for the council to establish a task force to campaign to protect it.
Convener Allan Wright said the community needed to work as one.
He told BBC Scotland: "We really do need to work together and put petty party political lines to one side."
The MoD is carrying out a review of its property portfolio, with land that is no longer needed being sold off and the money raised being invested in the armed forces.
Kinloss is not among the sites named in the review, and the MoD said no decisions have been made about future ones.
Mr Robertson said the closure of Kinloss Barracks would be "a betrayal" of promises made to people in Moray following the decision to end the site's life as an RAF station.
RAF Kinloss was home to Nimrod surveillance aircraft before all of those stationed there were retired in 2010 and new planes were scrapped.
The site closed as an air station in 2012 and the Army now occupies it, with RAF personnel and jet aircraft continuing to operate from nearby RAF Lossiemouth.


An intruder who fatally stabbed a man at a flat in Glasgow is facing a life sentence for murder.

Paul Boyle, 38, repeatedly stabbed 52-year-old Kenneth McNeill at the flat in Dumbarton Road, Yoker, on 15 May.
The victim was treated by paramedics but died from blood loss caused by a stab wound to his leg.
Boyle denied murder but was convicted following a five-day trial at the High Court in Edinburgh. Judge Lord Stewart deferred sentence until the new year.
Shortly before his arrest, police revealed that Mr McNeill had been assaulted after someone had broken into the flat.
Mr McNeill was not the householder at the property but police managed to piece together enough evidence to convict Boyle.
His former girlfriend, Fiona McInally, 36, gave evidence for the Crown during proceedings.
She said that following the fatal attack, Boyle had told her that he had assaulted someone.
Ms McInally told prosecution lawyer David Nicholson that she noticed he had a blood stain on his arm.
She said: "Paul said someone had stabbed him on the arm and he marked their face."
Police said at the time of Mr McNeill's death that an intruder had forced his way inside the flat at about 00:50 and "targeted" the victim, who died at the scene.


London City is to become the first UK airport to replace its air traffic control tower with a remotely operated digital system.

Instead of sitting in a tower overlooking the runway, controllers will be 120 miles away, watching live footage from high-definition cameras.
The new system, due to be completed in 2018, will be tested for a year before becoming fully operational in 2019.
It has already been tested in Australia, Sweden, Norway and Ireland.
The technology has been developed by Saab, the Swedish defence and security company, and will be introduced as part of a Â£350m development programme to upgrade London City Airport.
It will also include an extended terminal building, enabling it to serve two million more passengers a year by 2025.
The remote digital system will provide controllers with a 360-degree view of the airfield via 14 high-definition cameras and two cameras which are able to pan, tilt and zoom.
The cameras will send a live feed via fibre cables to a new operations room built at the Hampshire base of Nats, Britain's air traffic control provider.
As well as being able to see it, controllers will be able to hear the airport, as if they were in situ.
Unlike the old tower, the new system will allow controllers to zoom in for a better view and put radar data onto the screen to track aircraft.
BBC transport correspondent Richard Westcott says a critical new safety feature means the cameras will be able to pick out rogue drones near the airport, as well as light the runway at night.
Responding to questions about safety and potential system failure, London City Airport said it been independently stress-tested by security specialists.
The system will use three different cables, taking different routes between the airport and the control centre, to ensure there is a back up if one of those cables fails.
Declan Collier, London City Airport chief executive, said he was "absolutely confident" that the system is safe from the threat of a cyber attack.
"No chief executive is complacent about threats from cyber security," he said.
"But we are very confident that the systems we're putting in place here are secure, they're safe, they're managed very well."
Steve Anderson, from Nats Air Traffic Control, told the BBC he has been won over by the technology after being initially "sceptical".
He said: "They give the controller more information in terms of what they can see, what they can hear."
The airport is planning to decommission its traditional tower in 2019, replacing it with a new 164ft (50m) digital tower - 104ft (32m) taller than the existing one.
The system made its world debut in Sweden at Ornskoldsvik Airport, where flights have been controlled by a remote tower in Sundsvall, 110 miles (177km) away, since 2015.
Nats airports director Mike Stoller said: "Digital towers are going to transform the way air traffic services are provided at airports by providing real safety, operational and efficiency benefits.
"We do see this as being a growing market place across the UK and the world."

Media analyse the possibility of a Chinese city hosting the headquarters of a proposed Brics development bank.

The Brics grouping - involving Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - is likely to announce the opening of the bank at its annual summit in Brazil.
The bank could become a new challenger to the World Bank and the ranks of other similar regionally focused agencies, reports say.
Zhang Haibing, an expert in international economy with the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, tells the Beijing News that the new bank will bring "economic as well as strategic benefits for China", and supporting the bank "is a good opportunity to show that China is a responsible big nation".
Echoing similar sentiments, several media outlets are hoping that Shanghai or Hong Kong will be selected as the new bank's home.
Experts tell the Chinese Enterprise News that Beijing has a "bigger say in the Brics and the headquarters of the new bank is likely to be in Shanghai".
An article in the Shanghai Securities Times agrees that Shanghai has an advantage over other Brics cities because "it is an international financial centre".
The Qianjiang Evening News notes that Hong Kong is also a likely candidate to host the bank. "Hong Kong has a more open capital market, and has a better banking, judicial as well as financial regulatory system," it says.
However, Yukon Huang, senior associate in the Carnegie Asia Programme, points out that some Brics countries have concerns of being "over-reliant on China" and may prefer a Latin American city to host the bank.
He adds that Japan is the largest contributor to the Asian Development Bank, but its headquarters is based in the Philippines.
Elsewhere, papers doubt Japanese PM Shinzo Abe's sincerity as he called for a summit with President Xi Jinping during the APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation) meeting later this year.
Mr Abe made the proposal on Monday amid escalating tensions between Beijing and Tokyo over territorial disputes.
Experts tell the China Daily that Mr Abe is using a "media ploy" to "give the impression of a diplomatic initiative".
Zhou Yongsheng, a professor of Japan studies at China Foreign Affairs University, says initiating media campaigns regarding such meetings is a "cunning strategy".
"Mr Abe feels that he has gained more bargaining chips with such a proposal. If the meeting is not held, he will blame China," he tells the daily.
Agreeing with the view, Liu Jiangyong, vice-dean of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University, believes that Mr Abe is "only faking the move to create an illusion of improving international relations".
The pundit also notes that Mr Abe's popularity in Japan is "slipping since his decision to end the country's ban on collective self-defence early this month".
"Mr Abe is only 'passing the ball' to China by showing fake willingness to improve relations to the international community, while he knows very well that China will not accept the request with unsolved problems," he tells the Global Times.
And finally, teachers have been banned from accepting monetary gifts from students or their parents in what is seen as another effort by the government to curb corruption.
The Ministry of Education released a statement on Monday prohibiting teachers from receiving gifts including securities and payment vouchers, reports say.
The ministry has also prohibited teachers from attending banquets arranged by students or their families.

Exeter Chiefs climbed above Saracens to the top of the Premiership table with a bonus-point win over Sale.

Thomas Waldrom and Will Chudley went over for Exeter in the first half, Danny Cipriani replying with a Sale penalty and Will Addison going over.
Josh Beaumont's try gave Sale an early second-half lead, but Chudley responded with his second score within a minute.
Exeter sealed victory with tries from James Short and Tom Johnson before a late Will Hooley penalty.
A fierce wind blowing down the length of the field affected both sides, but it was Exeter who coped with it better as they secured top spot in the Premiership for at least 24 hours.
Unbeaten Saracens will return to the summit with victory at Wasps on Sunday.
After Cipriani's early penalty, Waldrom was forced over by his forwards, with the score confirmed by the television match official.
Chudley darted in for Exeter's second, but Sale hit back through Addison as they took advantage of an injury to Chiefs centre Sam Hill.
Exeter thought they had got a third try just before half-time, but Short was adjudged to have been held up by the Sale defence as he tried to touch down in the left corner.
Beaumont broke away early in the second half to put Sale 17-10 ahead, but immediately Chudley hit back as Sale's defence bought his dummy to Jack Nowell and the scrum-half went in through the gap.
Short did get across the line after an excellent tackle from Michele Campagnaro, before Johnson forced his way over late on and last-minute replacement Hooley kicked his first penalty for the Chiefs at the death.
Exeter forwards coach Rob Hunter on Sandy Park being labelled a "fortress":
"That label is very nice for our supporters because when they come here, we want to ensure that they see their side play well and win.
"We have a good record here because of what we do on the pitch.
"We have a bit to work on after this game especially as we travel to Northampton on New Year's Day - and they lost today, so they will be keen to put on a show for their supporters."
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond:
"We were in it for 60 minutes but then a bit inexperience and lack of composure let us down.
"We were probably worthy of a bonus point but those conditions we played in were hard.
"We are just missing a little bit of skills at the highest level. Overall, I'm reasonably pleased but we just lost that arm-wrestle."
Exeter: Dollman; Nowell, Whitten, Hill, Short; Steenson, Chudley; Moon, Yeandle, Francis, Lees, Parling, Armand, Salvi, Waldrom.
Replacements: Taione, Rimmer, Low, Atkins, Johnson, Lewis, Hooley, Campagnaro.
Sale: Haley; Arscott, James, Tuitupou, Addison; Cipriani, Stringer; Harrison, Taylor, V. Cobilas, Mills, Evans, Braid, Ioane, Beaumont.
Replacements: Neild, Lewis-Roberts, Mujati, Ostrikov, Easter, Cusiter, Ford, Jennings.

The killing of wild salmon could be banned, except under licence, under measures aimed at protecting  Scotland's wild fisheries.

The proposal is one of several contained in a Scottish government commissioned review.
Other recommendations include a new National Wild Fisheries Unit and scrapping the system of "closed days" for salmon fishing.
Environment minister Paul Wheelhouse said he would consult on the findings.
An independent panel led by former Scottish Natural Heritage chairman Andrew Thin was asked to look at ways of modernising the management of Scotland's wild fisheries.
The panel's report contains 53 recommendations for change.
It suggests a "small National Wild Fisheries Unit" be created within government to provide strategic direction and regulation.
The strategy would be delivered through "locally empowered Fisheries Management Organisations" (FMOs).
The report notes that salmon fishing has previously been the principal driver of policy but suggests the new system takes an "all species approach".
The FMOs could be formed out of existing district salmon fisheries boards and fisheries trusts.
The report makes no firm recommendation on whether a rod licensing scheme should be introduced in Scotland, but says "serious consideration" should be given to the idea, with any money raised re-invested in angling.
It calls for a ban at the earliest opportunity on the killing of wild salmon unless a licence is granted. Applicants would need to demonstrate sustainability.
The system of "closed days" for salmon fishing is outdated and ineffective, it argues, and should be abolished except for certain coastal netting operations where stocks benefit from periods of closure.
The system of "closed seasons" should be reviewed and extended to all species, based on scientific evidence, and brought under the control of the new national unit.
It suggests a new Angling For All programme be developed to encourage participation with an emphasis on young people and links with the tourism strategy.
Environment and Climate Change Minister Paul Wheelhouse said angling alone was worth Â£134 million to the Scottish economy.
He said: "This independent review was tasked with considering the requirements of a modern, evidence-based management system that is fit for purpose in the 21st century and is guided by the conservation needs of our wild species.
"We need to ensure we have a robust and sustainable system so our fish thrive and people can continue to enjoy wild fishing and the socio-economic benefits that flow from it for generations to come."
Mr Wheelhouse said he would study the report in depth and consult on proposals to implement a new management system.


Two men suffered head injuries in what police have described as "nasty assaults" near a nightclub in Tain.

The 25 and 27-year-olds were attacked as they headed home on Castle Brae at about 02:00 on Sunday.
Police have appealed for witnesses to the incident and have been trying to trace two other men.
One was described as being 5ft 11in tall and having dark hair and the other 5ft 9in and light brown hair. Both had stocky builds and aged in their 20s.
The first man was wearing a blue shirt, jeans and Adidas trainers, and the second had on jeans, a red, orange or maroon jacket with a goggles-shaped motif on the hood.
Insp Jamie Wilson, of Police Scotland's Sutherland and Easter Ross community policing team, said: "We are still trying to establish the full facts, but I believe that a number of people would have seen what happened.
"These were particularly nasty assaults and I am appealing for anyone who can assist our investigation to contact us as soon as possible.
"We are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a group of individuals fighting or heard a disturbance."


Two opposing opinion columns in US newspapers this week made me wonder if people's objection to Donald Trump is actually snobbism.

Are both liberal and conservative intellectuals simply appalled by the way he talks?
They are so blinded by his misuse of language and mangling of history that they judge him for what he says, and how he says it, and not for what he does.
The columns in question were by George Will, a distinguished conservative writer here in Washington and a long time critic of the president, and by Chris Ruddy, CEO of the media organisation Newsmax and a good friend of the president. I'll leave you to judge their effectiveness.
But as I read them, it occurred to me that the two men were drawing very different conclusions about the same thing, namely Trump's intellectual style. Moreover these two opinions broadly define why some people love Trump and some hate him. It's how he sounds that people respond to so viscerally.
Mr Will says it is "urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump's inability to do either". He accuses the president of an "untrained mind bereft of information". He cites his poor grasp of history, as demonstrated by Mr Trump's recent remarks that former President Andrew Jackson could have prevented the US Civil War.
Like many of Mr Trump's critics, both here and around the world, Mr Will is stunned by the president's lack of knowledge of basic global history and foreign policy norms. He quotes a line from the campaign trail in which Mr Trump threatened to "bomb the s--- out of" Middle East terrorists. And he ends his piece with a warning about the risks of the US nuclear arsenal ending up in the hands of someone so ignorant of world affairs.
Mr Ruddy, who is definitely in the president's corner, admits to being disconcerted by some of the things Donald Trump says. His point, though, is that Mr Trump's language and style, far from making the president and the country look stupid - as some critics claim - are actually effective. The very harshness of Trump's statements on China, Ruddy says, have actually earned him respect in Beijing.
Where critics deride ignorance, Mr Ruddy lauds an ability to learn on the job. He says Trump has shaken the tree of US politics and that in itself is worth doing. He points to the tough talk on immigration and the fact that border crossings from Mexico are down in the past couple of months as evidence that the "president's policies have created a virtual wall, one that may obviate the need for the $20 billion eyesore after all".
Here's where the question of snobbism comes in.
Mr Will's objection smacks of the very intellectual elitism that Mr Trump's supporters to despise. Both the tone and content of Mr Trump's language is certainly distinctive. Mr Will says it reveals gross ignorance.
But Mr Trump's supporters wholeheartedly agree with Chris Ruddy. Polls show us that the one thing they really like is that the new president is shaking things up. And part of that shake up is the way he talks and tweets. The very unfiltered-ness of Donald Trump is refreshing to them. When he gets his history wrong, that's fine, so does everyone sometimes. It just makes him more human.
When he shoots from the lip, he sounds natural and not like yet another poll-driven politician. When he tweets, with !! and CAPITALS, it is authentic and direct. When he offers to make the "best deals", and produce so many wins, "you'll get tired of winning," his supporters don't hear brashness, or irritating bragging. They hear confidence and ambition.
Critics have totally the opposite reaction. But maybe they are being elitist, or snobbish, if they judge Mr Trump by the odd way he talks, or by his overuse of superlatives and his slim grasp of history. What matters far more is what he does with the presidency.
There have certainly been actions liberals are concerned about - deregulating Wall street and the energy industry; his anti-immigration executive orders (three of which are actually stalled in courts) have produced a climate of fear amongst undocumented workers; and he has limited US funds for organisations that advise on or perform abortions worldwide.
But he has not actually done nearly as much as many people either feared or hoped he would. That would suggest there isn't very much to applaud or much to object to. That may still change, but for the moment many of Trump's biggest promises have been blocked either by judges or by congress.
So, in the absence of major policy changes, what does really motivate how you feel about this president?
Perhaps the single biggest indication of whether you support Trump or don't is simply your gut reaction to his style.
You either love it or loathe it. Very few people, it seems, are ambivalent.


Northampton Saints top Pool 3 in the European Champions Cup after an impressive victory over Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun.

Winger Ahsee Tuala touched down twice after George Pisi's early try against an oddly slack Warriors outfit.
Peter Horne and Josh Strauss scored for the hosts, who were outmuscled up-front, and too imprecise to capitalise on their second-half dominance.
This defeat deals a significant blow to their quarter-final aspirations.
Having missed an early opportunity, Scotland fly-half Finn Russell opened the scoring with a confident penalty on four minutes as Glasgow started brightly.
But things rapidly turned sour for the Warriors, as Russell's opposite number, Stephen Myler hoisted a towering garryowen into the Glasgow 22, and Stuart Hogg failed to claim it, allowing Pisi to gather and scramble his way to the line.
Myler converted, and stretched Saints' lead with a penalty after a punishing scrummage.
The Warriors had lost hooker Pat MacArthur to an early injury - handing Georgian Shalva Mamukashvili a debut from the bench - and would lose loose-head prop Ryan Grant to a yellow card after another scrummage hit the deck in Northampton's 22.
Myler compounded Glasgow's early woes with another penalty on 22 minutes.
Luther Burrell laid the platform for Tuala's first with a terrific burst of power at first receiver, before the ball was spread smartly along the line to the winger, who broke Hogg's weak tackle, and left Mark Bennett - who clearly expected his full-back to bring down Tuala - standing still in frustration to trot in.
Myler missed the conversion and, straight from the kick-off, the Warriors won a penalty that Russell crashed off the right upright before the loose ball was thrown wildly over his own dead-ball line by hooker Mikey Haywood.
The resultant scrummage back-pedalled, but Strauss broke quickly, and Horne picked an incisive angle off Russell to make the line, the stand-off converting.
Northampton continued to dismantle Glasgow's pack, though, and after pulverising the home scrummage anew, winning the ball against the head, Myler knocked over his third penalty with the final kick of the half.
Saints' kicking game proved pivotal after the break, as Myler heaped pressure on the Warriors' back three, particularly Hogg, with an array of well-placed tactical punts.
From one such angled grubber, Tuala slid in for his second try with 53 minutes gone after a fine break from full-back Ben Foden.
This one too was unconverted, but still left Glasgow trailing by 16 points.
The Warriors earned themselves a glimmer of hope when, after winning a string of penalties in the Saints 22, Burrell was sin-binned, and a well-disguised tap-penalty from Russell culminated in Strauss crashing over.
The stand-off missed the conversion, and the Warriors spurned a chance to score again when replacement prop Zander Fagerson spilled following a bruising break from fellow substitute Taqele Naiyaravoro.
But Glasgow continued to shoot themselves in the foot, coughing up possession in open play, with Mamukashvili missing his jumper at a line-out five metres from the Saints line.
The visiting pack were only too happy to utilise their superior bulk and grunt to clear the ball, and grind their way to an impressive, and crucial victory.
Glasgow Warriors: Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Mark Bennett, Peter Horne, Sean Lamont, Finn Russell, Mike Blair, Ryan Grant, Pat MacArthur, Sila Puafisi, Leone Nakarawa, Jonny Gray, Rob Harley, Simone Favaro, Josh Strauss.
Replacements: Shalva Mamukashvili, Gordon Reid, Zander Fagerson, Tim Swinson, Ryan Wilson, Grayson Hart, Richie Vernon, Taqele Naiyaravoro.
Northampton Saints: Ben Foden, Ahsee Tuala, George Pisi, Luther Burrell, George North, Stephen Myler, Lee Dickson (captain), Alex Waller, Mikey Haywood, Kieran Brookes, Michael Paterson, Christian Day, Jamie Gibson, Tom Wood, Sam Dickinson.
Replacements: Matti Williams, Ethan Waller, Paul Hill, Jon Fisher, Teimana Harrison, Kahn Fotuali'i, JJ Hanrahan, Jamie Elliott.


A man has been arrested in connection with the investigation into the death of man in Aberdeenshire.

Shahzad Shah, 56, died following an incident which happened at the Mirchi Indian takeaway in Mintlaw at about 17:35 on Monday.
Police Scotland said a 52-year-old man had been charged.
He was expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Wednesday.


Oxford United have signed Kidderminster defender Chey Dunkley on loan with a view to a permanent deal in January.

As part of the deal, 19-year-old Oxford defender Sam Long joins Conference side Harriers on loan until 1 January.
Dunkley, 22, came through the youth ranks at Crewe before joining Harriers in 2012 after a spell at Hednesford.
"It's a good move for myself. I'm over the moon the gaffer has taken a chance on me," said centre-half Dunkley, who has made 19 appearances this season.
"It's a big club and they are striving for big things and to get into League One.
"As it's a higher level it will be a faster tempo but it's up to me to come here and work hard and make sure I'm ready for the test."
Dunkley, who has agreed a two-and-half-year contract which will officially start in January, is determined to help the U's climb out of League Two.
"It's a big club and shouldn't be where it is at the moment," Dunkley told BBC Radio Oxford.
"There wasn't any need to sell me the club. The gaffer showed me the ambitions of the club. It was a no-brainer."
Harriers assistant manager Mark Creighton, who is a former U's defender, called Dunkley a "fantastic prospect".
Creighton added: "He is commanding in the air, attacks things in both boxes and scores a few. He is a fantastic professional and young so Oxford will get some good years out of him.
"He thoroughly deserves his opportunity to join a great club like Oxford. His key attribute is his willingness to win."


Scientists in Manchester are to develop a vaccine against the Zika virus which is suspected of causing babies to be born with under-developed brains.

The World Health Organization declared the infection a global public health emergency last month after an outbreak in the Americas.
University of Manchester said it hoped to deliver results within 18 months after being awarded £178,000 funding.
Scientists in other countries are also working on possible Zika vaccines.
Manchester researchers hope to "test a vaccine based on a safe derivative of a pre-existing smallpox vaccine - the only disease to have been successfully globally eradicated," a university spokesman said.
Dr Tom Blanchard, who is leading the project, said: "As we have seen in the case of Ebola, there is now a real need to react quickly to fast-spreading tropical diseases."
He said Zika can cause serious illness, but "it often has no visible symptoms, so a vaccine for those at risk is one of the most effective ways of combating it."
The grant was announced after the UK government said it would increase its funding for rapid research into countering the virus from £1m to £3m - alongside a £1m commitment from the health charity Wellcome Trust.


A British soldier was fatally shot by a US helicopter crew in Afghanistan who thought they were attacking an enemy base, an inquest has been told.

L/Cpl Christopher Roney, of 3rd Battalion The Rifles, died from head injuries while serving at Patrol Base Almas, in Sangin, Helmand, in 2009.
An inquest in Sunderland heard two US Apache helicopters fired 200 rounds before they realised their mistake.
Coroner Derek Winter said the death was down to a "tragic error".
The hearing was told the base had come under attack from insurgents and the platoon based there was busy fighting them off when air support was called in.
A drone fitted with a camera and the two helicopters flew to the patrol base, which was a compound with mud walls bought from a local owner some weeks before and was not on official maps.
British troops on the ground, who by this stage had won a firefight against their attackers, were incorrectly identified as the enemy and they were hit by 30mm chain gun rounds.
This was despite the patrol base, 3km from Forward Operating Base Jackson, having a flagpole, a washing line, defensive constructions and personnel who were not dressed like the enemy, Mr Winter said.
Gunfire from the helicopters left 11 injured on the ground, the coroner said.
L/Cpl Roney, a married former drayman, received emergency treatment, but died from his injuries the next day.
In his opening statement, Mr Winter said the Apache crews had not been informed, nor did they ask, for the exact location of base Almas.
He said: "As a consequence, they were unaware that the compound they were observing and in which they believed they had positively identified insurgents was, in fact Patrol Base Almas."
He said in circumstances of "total disorientation" the helicopters were authorised to engage.
"Fused by the overwhelming belief that Patrol Base Almas was at risk of being overrun, the subsequent reactions and actions to these events created a devastating cumulative effect," he said.
Mr Winter said due to the involvement of the US helicopters, the number of personnel and the different locations, the sequence of events that had unfolded was "highly complex".
He also said he would be considering the "cumulative human factor elements" as well as any lessons learnt from the tragedy.
L/Cpl Roney's commanding officer, Capt Palmer Winstanley, told the inquest in his opinion the helicopters need not have been called in as his officers were winning the battle with the insurgents.
He said: "We could have won the firefight... As we were, we were OK.
"We were pretty much winning the firefight, which means we pushed them back to a safe distance and hopefully they were going to move off into the night."
He described the Apache attack as "like nothing I have ever experienced before".
He said men were injured, a communication mast destroyed and the picture became confused as he was unaware any helicopters were in the area.
Once the enemy saw what was happening they pressed again with their attack and got within 30m (98ft) of the compound, he added.
Their raid only ended when a bomb was dropped on their base.
The inquest is expected to last five days.


A village museum in East Sussex will go up against Tate Britain and the new £35m Mary Rose Museum in a contest to be named the UK's museum of the year.

The Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft, which celebrates the village's creative heritage, is among the six nominees for this year's Art Fund Prize.
The other nominees include the Hayward Gallery on London's South Bank.
Norwich's Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and the open-air Yorkshire Sculpture Park complete the shortlist.
The winning venue will receive £100,000 at a ceremony on 9 July.
Art Fund director Stephen Deuchar said UK museums had a "strong year" in 2013 and picking six nominees was "no easy task".
"It is almost as if imaginative and innovative curatorship, combined with the highest standards of presentation, is no longer the exception but the rule," he said.
The nominees are:
The award was launched in 2003 as the Gulbenkian Prize and became the Art Fund Prize in 2008. Last year's winner was the William Morris Gallery in north-east London.


Channel 4 has secured a four-year deal to broadcast the Grand National, the Derby and Royal Ascot from 2013.

The deal means Channel 4 will be the exclusive broadcaster of British racing on terrestrial television.
The BBC put in as "competitive a bid as possible" to maintain the rights.
BBC director of sport Barbara Slater said: "We are of course disappointed that we have lost the rights, but we are pleased that all the races in the contract remain free to air."
This year's Grand National on 14 April, together with the Derby and Royal Ascot in June will be screened on the BBC.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Our coverage this year will mark the end of a partnership covering some of the key events of British racing that extends over 50 years," Slater added.
"The BBC are proud of their long heritage of broadcasting horse racing and put in as competitive a bid as possible in the current climate.
"We still look forward to broadcasting the Grand National next month and then the Derby and Royal Ascot which have special significance in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year."
Slater said the BBC was "very proud" of its role in ensuring iconic moments in racing had reached the "widest possible audience".
"Over those many years we have consistently improved and enhanced our coverage, producing outstanding programming that viewers have hugely enjoyed," she said.
Radio rights for racing remain the subject of continuing negotiations.
Jamie Aitchison, Channel 4 sports editor, said: "This is an opportunity for us to work together to grow the sport, painting the full picture of both the flat and jumps seasons to attract new viewers whilst rewarding those loyal viewers we value so highly."
Richard FitzGerald, chief executive of Racecourse Media Group (RMG), who headed racing's negotiating team, said the BBC had been a "fantastic partner for British racing and helped the sport to grow its attendances and TV audience in recent times".
"This new deal will not only deliver increased revenues for British racing, but with all of our sport's crown jewels in its portfolio, Channel 4 offers a compelling vision to innovate the way racing is broadcast."


The government "let down" the families of British troops killed in Iraq over the support given to them, ex-Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth has said.

Mr Ainsworth told the Iraq inquiry that the Ministry of Defence "simply did not get it right" in terms of the overall "welfare package" given to families.
Communication with families was inconsistent and inquests into deaths in service took too long, he said.
Mr Ainsworth is one of a host of ex-Labour ministers to give evidence.
His predecessors as defence secretary - Geoff Hoon, John Reid, Des Browne and John Hutton - have all already appeared before the inquiry.
The inquiry is looking into the UK's involvement in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the build-up to the war and its aftermath, with it due to report around the end of the year.
When he became minister for the armed forces in 2007, Mr Ainsworth said he quickly realised that the way the Ministry of Defence was dealing with bereaved families was not adequate.
"We were simply not getting it right, to tell the truth," he said. "Again and again we were letting people down."
Concerns included the length of time it took to inform next-of-kin about the loss of loved ones and the fact that liaison officers dealing with families were often called up at short notice and replaced by someone else, causing significant further distress.
"There were some horror stories about how people were dealt with at an individual level," he said.
Ministers decided to ask the British Legion and the War Widows Association to set up an independent source of support and legal advice to families, acknowledging that some bereaved families "saw us as the enemy" and this was the best way to earn their trust.
The length of time taken to conduct coroners' inquests into the deaths of service personnel was a "real problem", he told the inquiry.
"It was preventing people from dealing with bereavement and elongating their loss unnecessarily," he said.
He praised the work of coroners who conducted high-profile inquests, such as that into the 2005 shooting down of a Hercules aircraft in which 10 servicemen died.
These inquiries helped change "the culture of the MoD" in terms of how it identified and handled risks.
Mr Ainsworth said he had continually tried to improve the welfare of troops and their families, helping to double the level of compensation for wounded personnel despite opposition from certain quarters within the MoD.
But he acknowledged shortcomings in several areas, including the ability of troops on the front line to communicate with their families and lengths of tour of duty.
He said criticism of the specialist medical treatment given to the injured back in the UK had been "unjustified" and he strongly believed it was better to treat personnel in NHS facilities rather than dedicated military hospitals.
While he had never had any complaints from troops about the care they received, he acknowledged they were concerned whether the state "will stop caring for them" in the future and said this must never happen.
