Voters in Cumbria have taken to Twitter to express their gratitude towards the work of local politicians after Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered in Birstall, Leeds.
Copeland MP Jamie Reed, Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock and Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron, who is also the MP for Westmorland & Lonsdale, all received tweets praising the work that they do in their constituencies.
Thousands of online users across the country tweeted with the hashtag of #ThankYourMP, which started trending last night after Mrs Cox's death.
Here are a selection of some of the tweets sent to MPs in Furness and the South Lakes:
Thanks @timfarron for working hard for my home turf, & helping local young folk get interested in politics, including this one #ThankYourMP

Tim Farron, leader of the Liberal Democrats sent out this tweet this morning urging people to believe in the values of democracy:
We must answer hate with love. Our response must be democracy, more openness, more decency & more humanity. We must never give up our values
