Labour Party leader Andy Burnham speaks about his late father, Roy, during his conference address and appears emotional, briefly holding back tears before pausing.

Sources report the tribute comes shortly after Roy’s death earlier this month, with one outlet describing it as occurring just two weeks before the speech. During the pause, an audience member calls out “go on Andy,” prompting Burnham to continue. The reports focus on the moment in which Burnham visibly reacts to the personal subject matter, while his remarks remain centered on his father.

Across outlets, the shared account is that Burnham delivers the tribute live at the conference, shows visible emotion while speaking, and resumes after a brief break prompted by the audience. While the outlets do not add detailed content about Roy beyond his death, they consistently describe the tone of the exchange and the audience reaction.
