Several front pages carry pictures of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer holding flowers and walking side by side as they pay their respects to Sir David Amess. The papers describe how Westminster is united in grief - as are his constituents.

There are plenty of stories from those he helped during his long backbench career.

The Sunday Times hears from a 70-year-old woman, who arrived at one tribute to him clutching gladioli. She explained her family had struggled to get her autistic, epileptic grandson into the same school as his brother - until Sir David made some phone calls and the whole thing was resolved.

A worker on the children's ward at Southend Hospital tells the Mail on Sunday that every Christmas the MP would come dressed as Santa.

Another woman reveals in the Sunday Mirror that he intervened in a fertility treatment battle with the NHS - giving her the chance to become a mother.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Express covers a joint statement by all of Southend's mosques - praising Sir David as an "upstanding friend" to the "Muslim community" and condemning the "blind hatred" which led to his death.

Sir David was attacked during a meeting with his constituents

The Sunday Telegraph reports that in the days leading up to the fatal attack, Sir David had received an "upsetting" threat - although Essex police haven't connected it to the stabbing. It says despite the incident, Sir David chose to go ahead with his public appointments.

The Sunday People pictures the veteran MP with his wife and four daughters. Its headline draws on Sir David's own words: "My family pay a big price for me being an MP".

The financial impact of climate change policies has led to a rift between the prime minister and Chancellor Rishi Sunak - according to the Observer. It says leaked Treasury documents warn of economic damage if Britain misdirects or spends too much on green investment.

Environmental campaigners say the review fails to take account of the economic benefits and warns the leak could undermine efforts to galvanise action - ahead of the climate summit in Glasgow.

But the Mail on Sunday says Treasury officials have accused Mr Johnson of "economic illiteracy" because of fears his policies could lead to higher inflation and an interest rate rise. In a statement, the Treasury insists it's playing a crucial role in the effort to tackle climate change.
