Sir David Amess Children's Parliament UK

Five years after the tragic murder of Sir David Amess MP, his eldest daughter Katie Amess has spoken movingly to BBC Essex about the extraordinary legacy her father left behind.

Describing his legacy as “one of love”, Katie reflected on a man who dedicated his life to serving others, putting people first and believing in the power of community.

For the Sir David Amess Children’s Parliament UK, his vision continues to inspire the next generation, giving young people across the United Kingdom a voice in democracy.

As 130 elected Child MPs recently gathered in Westminster to debate disability rights, they demonstrated that Sir David’s belief in the next generation is more alive than ever.
