Jo Cox George Medal 'hero' dies
The man who was awarded the George Medal for trying to stop the murder of MP Jo Cox has died, his family says.
Bernard Kenny was stabbed as he intervened when Thomas Mair attacked Mrs Cox in Birstall, West Yorkshire in 2016....
Mr Kenny was seriously injured in the attack, but the cause of his death is not believed to be related to the incident...
After the attack more than 80,000 people signed an online petition calling for Mr Kenny to be awarded the George Cross for his bravery.
