MP Jo Cox honoured with shield
MURDERED MP Jo Cox has been honoured by having a coat of arms unveiled in Parliament by her two children.
Cuillin, six, and Lejla, four, designed the memorial plaque which was installed in the Commons chamber as part of a “family day” in Parliament.
Inspired by Mrs Cox’s maiden speech, which contained the line “we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us”, the plaque bears the motto “More in Common”. It also has four roses to represent each of her family members – two red for Labour and two white for Yorkshire.
MPs killed while in office are traditionally remembered by heraldic shields in the Commons.
