PAUL BRITTON
I talk to Lee every day it makes me connected...'

LEE Rigby's mother has spoken movingly of her enduring love for her soldier son 11 years on from his barbaric murder in London.

The Fusilier from Langley, Middleton, was just 25 when he was murdered by Islamic Extremists outside Woolwich Barracks in south-east London on May 22, 2013.

His life and his service in Afghanistan and elsewhere - was being remembered across Greater Manchester and the country today, as the 22 who lost their lives in the Manchester Arena terrorist bombing of May 22, 2017, were also being honoured. The atrocities share the same anniversary.

Lee's life and his family was also being remembered in the thoughts and prayers of his former comrades and current serving personnel both at home and abroad.
