Lee Rigby - The British soldier hacked to death in London on Wednesday ( 2013.) 

A drummer with the Army, he was 25 years old and a member of 2nd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.

A statement on the Ministry of Defence’s website said: “It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must announce that the soldier killed in yesterday's incident in Woolwich, South East London, is believed to be Drummer Lee Rigby of 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (attached to the Regimental Recruiting Team in London)…

“An extremely popular and witty soldier, Drummer Rigby was a larger than life personality within the Corps of Drums and was well known, liked and respected across the Second Fusiliers. He was a passionate and life-long Manchester United fan.

“A loving father to his son Jack, aged 2 years, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. The Regiment’s thoughts and prayers are with his family during this extremely difficult time.”

His former brother-in-law voiced the family’s anguish, saying “he died in the most horrific way.”
