The widower of murdered MP Jo Cox has thanked the public for their "incredible generosity" as a charity fund set up in her memory passed the £1 million mark in just three days.

Brendan Cox's message came after a day of tributes and tears in the House of Commons as politicians gathered to pay respects to the popular MP, who died after being shot and stabbed in her Batley and Spen constituency. Friends of Mrs Cox set up the Go Fund Me page in "celebration and memory" of the popular MP, and it passed the £1 million mark shortly before 8.30pm on Monday after more than 30,500 people made donations that will be divided between three charities.
