“Sending sympathy to all David’s Parliamentary colleagues and most especially to his wife and family for their terrible loss.”

The memorial service for David Amess took place at St Margret’s Church yesterday where a range of MP’s, including Barbra Keely were invited to speak.

Ms Keely again took to Twitter to state: “Today we remembered Sir David Amess and I was pleased to speak in tribute to him.
