In an almost joyful event, lead by the former MP’s successor Anna Firth, the current MP for Southend West, Sir David’s family, friends, dignitaries and members of the public joined together to celebrate Sir David’s life and contribution to the City of Southend.

Members of the Music Man Project, an organisation Sir David passionately championed, joined one of Sir David’s long time friends, MP for Romford Andrew Rosindell, in unveiling the life-size statue created as a lasting tribute, by local artist Andrew Lilley

A statement from Sir David’s widow Lady Julia Amess and the rest of the family read, “David is hugely missed and as a family we are devastated by his loss, but events like today make us feel that he is with us forever and that his light remains.

“I and all my family thank you so much.”
