Mourners in Britain have held vigils for Labour Member of Parliament Jo Cox, who died after being shot and stabbed in the street on Thursday.
Hundreds of people packed into a church in Birstall, West Yorkshire, yesterday evening, while a vigil was also held outside parliament.
Mrs Cox’s husband paid a glowing tribute to her saying the mother-of-two had fought for “a better world”.
Her attacker is reported to have shouted “put Britain first” at least twice. A 52-year-old man, named locally as Tommy Mair, has been arrested.
The attack happened not far from Birstall library, where 41-year-old Mrs Cox, had been holding a constituency surgery.
