The husband of murdered Labour MP Jo Cox and their two children are travelling down the River Thames on their houseboat to a memorial service in her honour.
Brendan Cox is due to attend tonight’s gathering in Trafalgar Square alongside his son Cuillin, five, and three-year-old daughter Lejla.
Thousands of Londoners are set to flock to the landmark from 4pm to pay their respects in another moving tribute to the politician.
The family have begun sailing down the Thames on their houseboat, moored at Wapping, where Ms Cox lived while she was in London.
A series of memorial events are taking place across the world tonight to mark what would have been the 42nd birthday of the MP, who was murdered last Thursday in her West Yorkshire constituency.
As well as in London, tributes will also be paid in Batley and Spen where Mrs Cox was elected at last year’s general election.
On Tuesday, Mr Cox spoke publicly for the first time since his wife’s death and said she was killed because of her "very strong" political views.
He said: "She was a politician and she had very strong political views and I believe she was killed because of those views.
“I think she died because of them, and she would want to stand up for those in death as much as she did in life."
