EVENTS were held worldwide to celebrate Jo Cox’s life yesterday as her family, friends and famous supporters attended a memorial service on what would have been the MP’s 42nd birthday.

Ceremonies were held in several cities, including New York, Washington, Brussels, Beirut, Melbourne and Nairobi, under the hashtag More In Common.
