Sir David, a Tory MP for nearly 40 years, was stabbed to death during a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, in October 2021.<\/p>\n

The plaque was unveiled by Sir David\u2019s wife, Julia Amess, at a ceremony attended by her mother Faith Arnold, daughter Katherine, Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle and Home Secretary Suella Braverman.<\/p>\n

Sir David\u2019s coat of arms features five red roses, representing his children and his love of gardening, and two Talbot dogs, representing animal rescue, a cause he championed, and Bournemouth University, his alma mater.<\/p>\n

Lady Amess said she chose the motto His Light Remains, featured just below the shield, because \u201cwherever I go, I am reminded of him in some way. Someone he has helped, a charity he has supported and people whose lives he touched\u201d.<\/p>\n
