Tributes have flooded in for MP Jo Cox whose funeral was held on Friday morning.
The private service for family only was held in her local constituency of Batley and Spen. Hundreds lined the street in Heckmondwike and Batley as the cortege passed. In a statement, her family said they had been "overwhelmed and touched by the love and support people have shown us".
Cox died on 16 June after she was attacked in her constituency.
Brendan Cox, the MP's husband, issued a message of hope to those grieving the Nice terror attack, details of which emerged hours before the funeral began. 84 people were killed on the French riviera and 18 people critically injured.
Cox posted on Twitter saying he was "thinking of all victims of hatred today".
He said: "Jo would ask us not to fight hate with hate but draw together to drain the swamp that extremism breeds in."
