Jo Cox birthday: MP remembered at world events

He said the event became a celebration of a remarkable life, with speakers calling it a "show of unity against evil".Hundreds also attended events in Washington DC, Dublin, Brussels, Oslo, Buenos Aires, Auckland and Beirut. At Trafalgar Square - Lauren Turner BBC News"A beautiful event for a wonderful woman" - That was how one of the thousands of people who had gathered at Trafalgar Square to mark Jo Cox's 42nd birthday described the hour-long celebration which had seen smiles, laughter - and more than a few tears. Some of those listening to the speeches and performances had been close friends of Jo Cox. Others were friends of friends. Still more had worked alongside her or her husband Brendan. There were also those who had never met the MP - and still those who had not heard of her before her death last week. But what they had in common was they all wanted to join together in honour of Jo's life. And join together they did in a literal sense, holding hands with loved ones and strangers alike and raising them to the sky when asked to pledge out loud to "love like Jo", the salute reaching across the crowds who filled the square. At Portobello Beach in Edinburgh, friends of Ms Cox gathered to celebrate her life.Her photo was placed on the sand next to 300 candles arranged into the words 'More In Common'. Kim Wallace, a friend and former colleague of Ms Cox and her husband, said: "Jo was fearless in standing up for her beliefs and was a force for good, bringing people together. "Jo was irreplaceable in many ways, but most especially to her children. "As a mother, my heart breaks that they now have to grow up without her."Brendan Cox tweeted: "Today would have been Jo's birthday. If you can, please join us this afternoon to celebrate her life & legacy."A candlelit vigil was held at a women's charity centre in Syria "in honour of her support for Syrian women", the Women Now For Development organisation said. People gathered in Trafalgar Square for the London event, with another simultaneous service in the market square in Batley, West Yorkshire.During an emotional speech in London, Mr Cox said: "Thank you to Jo's amazing friends, and friends of friends, and even complete strangers who have managed, despite your own grief, to organise all of this in less than a week. Thank you for the love that you have poured on our family since our world collapsed on ThursdayBrendan Cox "As amazing and... (BBC News)
