The British prime minister is set to lead tributes to David Amess in the House of Commons on Monday after his family urged people to be tolerant and “set aside hatred” in his memory.

For at least two hours, politicians will be able to share their memories of the Conservative MP for Southend West after a morning of prayers and a minute’s silence at 2.30pm.
