The UK House of Commons has gathered to pay tribute to murdered politician Sir David Amess. The veteran politician was stabbed to death while meeting constituency voters last week. A morning of prayers was followed by a minute's silence and politicians were given the opportunity to share their memories of their colleague. Prime Minister Boris Johnson led tributes to David Amess – vowing to "cherish his memory" and "celebrate his legacy". In honour of the Conservative MP – the Queen has announced Southend – in Essex – will be granted city status. David Amess campaigned tirelessly for Southend to be a city during his 38 years as a backbench MP in parliament. The town was one of several competing for city status as part of the Queen's platinum jubilee celebrations next year.
