Brussels is naming a square in the city after the murdered MP Jo Cox.

The Labour politician was killed in 2016 by right-wing extremist Thomas Mair, in Birstall, part of her Batley and Spen constituency.

The square in the centre of the city is close to the Ancienne Belgique concert venue that Mrs Cox, 41, regularly attended when she lived and worked in Belgium.

Thursday's naming ceremony will be led by the Mayor of Brussels and be attended by members of the MP's family.
