On the landmark anniversary, she vowed to make sure Lee is never forgotten
Mum Lyn Rigby has spoken of her “decade of heartbreak” as she faces the 10th anniversary of her son Lee’s murder.
A machine gunner and proud drummer from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, Lee Rigby, 25, was butchered in a terrorist attack on May 22, 2013. The savage killing was carried out by two Islamist extremists as he walked to his barracks in Woolwich, south-east London. They encouraged everyone to film them on their mobiles. The war on terror was no longer just a problem in a faraway land. It was here among us on the streets of Britain.
The perpetrators expected to be killed by armed police, hoping they would be “martyred”. Instead, they were wounded and arrested, and later stood trial for murder. Both were given life sentences, with ringleader Adebolajo facing a whole-life tariff. Top news stories today “Together they all threw a ring of protection around me. As a family we pulled through together and to this day I have no idea how I am still standing. It’s nothing short of a miracle that the human heart can survive such sadness.”
