Lyn Rigby's story charts the unfathomably difficult time she has endured since May 2013 when her son, 25-year-old Fusilier Lee Rigby, was butchered on a London high street by two British-born young men compelled to avenge the killing of Muslims by the British armed forces. The savage brutality of the killing shocked the nation, & the ramifications spread to the highest levels of government, questioning the security of social networking sites that allowed the fanatics who murdered her son to discuss their intentions online & unchecked.
Lyn Rigby has questions for government & the military, but overall it is her story of sorrow, her campaign for a memorial dedicated to Lee's memory, her admiration for the 'angels of Woolwich' &, hopefully, belief that her son did not die in vain. She is writing this book as a tribute to Lee
- to give him a voice & to tell his story not just as a soldier, but as a vibrant, happy young man with a son & a future that has been so cruelly & viciously been taken from him.
Ideal for anyone interested in true stories.
