David AMESSConservative MP Sir David Amess has died aged 69 after being stabbed while hosting a constituency surgery in Belfairs Methodist Church, Essex, on Friday 15th October 2021.
The MP was described as “Mr Southend” at a vigil held in his memory just hours after his death during a service held at Saint Peter’s Church.
Father Jeffrey Woolnaugh paid tribute to Sir David and placed a photograph of him at the front of the church.
Following the attack, Speaker of the Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle said: "In the coming days we will need to discuss and examine MPs’ security and any measures to be taken, but for now, our thoughts and prayers are with David’s family, friends and colleagues."
Mr Amess had been an MP since 1983, first for Basildon and since 1997 for Southend West.
He was a well-known backbencher who never held a ministerial or shadow ministerial post during his 38 years in parliament, instead campaigning on issues including animal rights.

You was a well loved and respected gentleman.

We were the couple who lived just across the road from you,and we gave you some budgies and the smile when we gave them to you was showing your gratitude.
