The funeral of Jo Cox MP has taken place today in her Batley and Spen Constituency with hundreds lining the streets to pay their final respects.
It was a private service for immediate family only, followed by a function for invited guests.
However the family recognised the significant public interest in the funeral and arranged for the cortege to follow a route around Jo’s constituency to allow members of the public to pay their respects and they turned out in their hundreds.
Following this the family request that they be allowed to grieve privately. In a statement they said: "We have been overwhelmed and touched by the love and support people have shown us since Jo's death. We are deeply grateful to all who have reached out to us.
“Knowing that so many people share both our grief and our determination to take forward Jo’s legacy is a source of great strength at what otherwise feels like a very bleak time.
“Now, particularly for the children, we have decided that Jo's funeral will be a very small and private family affair. Following this we would ask everyone to respect our privacy to enable us to grieve and rebuild as a family."
