He was from Manchester

So sad :sad:

Thoughts with his family in Manchester and friends...

from Ch5NewsHD Live

He sent a text home home each evening to his mother
simply saying "he was alright"

Of course sadly yesterday no text went.

25 year old Drummer Lee Rigby was Killed in London yesterday

This is such a shame,so young with a baby too,RIP soldier Rigby.:bawling:

God, when you put a name and face to that body we all saw lying on the road, it makes it even more unbearable to think about.

I hope his family eventually find peace

awwwwwwwwwwwwww

Totally Lee.

The worst thing I wonder when they were told? Did they watch it unfold like the rest of us blissfully unaware it was their loved one? Doesn't bear thinking about.

I wondered that annie,imagine watching that and finding out it was your son/husband/father.it makes me shudder.

No, it doesn't Annie... And watching those psychopaths with blood on his hands must be so distressing for them

that makes it so much more sad. his poor family.

Apparently he was deliberately targeted by the two assailants , as he worked in the nearby Army recruitment office he was followed and then attacked as they knew he was still serving in the Army.

Cold calculating nasty cowardly brutal murderers...!!!!

Got my haircut today and the old biddies were taking about this with the hairdresser. Old ladies were saying **** like 'we should send them all back, this happens all the time with them people' and stuff...and saying we should bring our boys home (that part I do agree with btw) and the hairdresser said that the only reason we are in their country is to stop them flooding our country with heroin (?!)

It was extremely hard to keep my mouth shut. I had skye with me so didnt want to cause a scene so I kept quiet. But the ****ing ignorance of some people is ridiculous.

Breaking news:

Police have made two further arrests following Woolwich attack, Scotland Yard say

29 years old

Our troops will be home but a year to go or so.

an man and women aged 29

aye seen it now

....I don't even know where to begin with this..I don't know how a family will ever have peace with it and how he was killed....

Absolutely Ammi, this whole thing has had me really feeling sick all day thinking about it. His poor family, this must be a totally long and living nightmare for them now.

While what happened is disgusting and I hope that the people involved get tortured and god knows what else, I think it's OTT of the people on Facebook that are saying all Muslims should be kicked out of the country, after all not every Muslim was involved in the attack and it's just a ridiculous statement.

It is wrong to be saying that I agree,it is likely part of the kind of knee jerk reactions that the PM has warned against today.

yep same

RIP Lee Rigby:(. I cannot imagine what his family/friends/colleagues are feeling right now, my thoughts are with them.

These disconnected and vile extremists bring shame to their religion and do not represent it. Islam is a religion whose rules state that you must not harm or hurt other people.

I feel sorry for the majority of Muslims who are getting tarred with the same brush and who would condemn these attacks.

rip R.I.P Lee Rigb treanding

I can't believe it but David Cameron is actually making sense.:shocked:

aye mock

I don't know the details but did they hack him in public? In front of the people? Couldn't someone have thrown something to knock them down?

the thing that annoys me is the fact that he said 'an eye for an eye' when if really, if he was truly that bothered, he'd go back to his own country and fight back.

Thankfully I've not yet seen any ignorant stupid people on Facebook

Apparently people thought these two guys were helping him because there was a car crashed on the pavement. So people thought 'okay they're helping him'... until well, it was too late and they noticed. They had a gun too so I think people were too scared.

It's hard to say how anybody might act in that situation

This is being discussed on question time now.

Bad Jack ..... I had the courtesy to reply to you but you failed miserably to reply to me ..... :nono:

watching it too kizzy

As I said this afternoon more needs to be done to make young men and their families aware of the need to inform the authorities if they feel they are being targetted by extremist radical groups.
More information needs to be made available to make teachers, friends and families aware of the indications that signal that a young person may have been indoctrinated.

I fill up everytime I see his face..

:sad:

married with a 2 year old child... it gets worse with every bit of news you hear.

i hope his child remembers him and will know of the hero he is.

I keep saying it but I feel really sick, this has had my attention most of today.

Since he was named and then the picture too, it just makes the whole thing even more of a tragedy and sickening if that was possible.
