Boris Johnson led tributes in the Commons on Monday to the late Conservative MP for Southend West, announcing that the Queen had agreed to grant Southend city status. The prime minister said all MPs were in mourning with the family of Sir David Amess, adding: 'We will not allow the manner of Sir David’s death in any way to detract from his accomplishments as a politician or as a human being.' MPs cheered after Johnson announced Southend would 'be accorded the city status it so clearly' deserved Southend to become city in honour of Sir David Amess
