Shortly after 9am on Saturday , Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer bent to lay wreaths and, united briefly by grief, turned grimly from the Essex church where Conservative MP Sir David Amess had been killed less than 24 hours earlier.
Accompanied by the rumble of helicopters, the political leaders soon left Leigh-on-Sea and a community searching for answers.
