A convicted paedophile has pleaded guilty to flying a drone over a primary school which reportedly caused one child to run away in tears.
Jeremy Bird, 47, was accused of using the lightweight aircraft to 'watch' the young children in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
A court heard that on one occasion, Bird caused one pupil to 'run and cry' as he used the device to follow them.
Bird accepted a charge of recklessly or negligently causing or permitting an aircraft to endanger a person or property at Salisbury Magistrates Court.
But, he said that he 'didn't have any control over it' and is only pleading guilty because he did not have the 'appropriate qualification' to fly the aircraft.
