A square in Brussels is to be named in honour of the murdered Labour MP Jo Cox next month, as part of a bid to "feminise" the city's streets.
The 41-year-old, who was killed by neo-Nazi terrorist Thomas Mair in 2016, is said to have frequented the Ancienne Belgique concert hall, which backs onto the square, when she worked in Belgium before being elected to Parliament in 2015.
Mohamed Ouriaghli, a Brussels MP, said the square would be named after her on 27 September.
He wrote on Twitter: "On 27.09 at 1pm, Helen Joanne Cox will have her name attributed to the place located at the back of the Ancienne Belgique, a place she frequented during her stay at #BXL. This event is in her honour and in the wish to feminise the squares and street names of the VilleBruxelles."
The announcement was welcomed by Stephen Kinnock, Labour MP for Aberavon, whose mother, the former MEP Glenys Kinnock, employed Ms Cox as an assistant in Brussels.
He tweeted: "What a lovely gesture. Jo loved living in Brussels, and back in the day we all loved going to the Ancienne Belgique – a fantastic live music venue. Kudos and 'un grand merci' to the City of Brussels, for doing this."
Ms Cox, who was killed in the run-up to the EU referendum, was included on a list of "illustrious women" who will have squares, streets and buildings named after them as part of the city's plans for female and male equality.
The Batley and Spen MP was murdered on 16 June, in Birstall, west Yorkshire, as she arrived to hold a constituency surgery.
As he struck, Thomas Mair shouted: “This is for Britain”, “keep Britain independent”, and “Britain first”.
On his arrest, Mair told police officers he was a "political activist". And when asked his name at his first appearance before magistrates in London, responded "death to traitors, freedom for Britain".
Mair, who has a history of mental illness but did not want it to form his defence, also stabbed 77-year-old Bernard Kenny in the stomach when the pensioner tried to protect Cox.
In November 2016 Mair was sentenced to life in prison.
