TWO events are to be held in Burnley to remember MP Jo Cox who was murdered a year ago.

Community groups and faith organisations along with Burnley Council are to host The Great Get Together, which is a national initiative organised by the Jo Cox Foundation.

There will be food, speeches, prayers and a minute's silence followed by live music from the Recovery Band.

It will take place between 11am and 2pm on Saturday June 17 at the Peace Garden outside Burnley Central Library.

On Wednesday June 21, Building Bridges in Burnley will host another event in her memory at the Singing Ringing Tree in Crown Point.

Guests are invited to meet at the Crown Point car park from 8.30pm for a 9pm start.

People are also invited to take part in a sponsored fast which will be broken together at 9.47pm.

Proceeds will go to the Jo Cox Charity.
