Jo Cox Vigil Brings Mourners and Britain Together

Dozens of people congregated outside the British Parliament in London on Thursday to hold a vigil in memory of Jo Cox, the lawmaker who was stabbed and shot to death earlier that day in northern England.

Mourners laid flowers next to a large photograph of the Labour Party politician, who was a vocal humanitarian and advocated for Syrian refugees, reports Agence France-Presse. Several of her peers and colleagues lit candles as Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party, gave a moving speech.
