Colleagues among those to lay flowers in memory of Sir David Amess.
Several MPs and local politicians visited the site where Sir David Amess was killed to pay their respects.
Granting Southend-on-Sea city status would be a “wonderful tribute” to Sir David Amess, the Home Secretary has said.
Sir David, who died after being stabbed while meeting constituents on Friday, was a ceaseless campaigner for the Essex town on the Thames Estuary to be designated a city.
Priti Patel said on Sunday there will be “work in Government” on the prospect of realising Sir David’s long-running campaign.
