Good Morning
It’s a sad day for British Democracy.
The family of MP Sir David Amess have said their hearts are shattered as they called on people to "set aside hatred and work towards togetherness".
The Conservative MP was stabbed multiple times during a meeting with his constituents in Essex on Friday.
A 25-year-old British man is being held under the Terrorism Act.
In a statement, his family said they were trying to understand "why this awful thing has occurred... nobody should die in that way. Nobody".
Sir David, 69, was married with four daughters and a son.
The family said the "wonderful" tributes paid to him by friends, constituents and the public had given them strength.
"We have realised from tributes paid that there was far, far more to David than even we, those closest to him, knew," they added.
"We are enormously proud of him. Our hearts are shattered."
On Monday afternoon, Prime Minister Boris Johnson will lead MPs in paying tribute to their late colleague in the House of Commons.
Politicians will have at least two hours from 15:30 BST to share their memories of Sir David, after prayers and a minute's silence. The tributes will be followed by a service at St Margaret's Church, next to Parliament.
Good Afternoon sense-ibles,
