Lee Rigby’s mum tells of ‘decade of heartbreak’ 10 years after son slain in street by extremists

Mum Lyn Rigby has spoken of her “decade of heartbreak” as she faces the 10th anniversary of her son Lee’s murder.

She said she only survived the devastation of his execution because of the love of her husband and four daughters. On the landmark anniversary, she vowed to make sure Lee is never forgotten. Lyn said: “The pain is there every day, so much so that it becomes a part of you.

“But what tears me apart is to think that people have forgotten him 10 years on. It’s my job to make sure people remember him – not just as the murdered soldier from the TV but as a loving son, dad and brother.”
