Labour's Luciana Berger has paid tribute to murdered colleague Jo Cox after picking up a prestigious award in her honour.

The Jewish MP received the Jo Cox Award at the No2H8 Crime Awards in central London on Thursday night in front of an audience including Cressida Dick, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner.

The awards, recognising those at the forefront of tacking hate against all communities, brought more than 360 people to the Intercontinental Hotel.

The CST and Islamophobia watchdog Tell Mama were among a host of event partners.
