Mrs Cox, 41, was shot and stabbed in Birstall, in her Yorkshire constituency of Batley and Spen, on June 16, 2016.

In November, Thomas Mair was jailed for life after being found guilty of murdering the mother-of-two a week before the EU referendum vote.

Mair shouted 'Britain first' in the attack - but a judge at the Old Bailey said the true 'patriot' was Mrs Cox, not Mair.

Prosecutors said Mair was motivated by hate and his crimes were 'nothing less than acts of terrorism'.
