Lee Rigby's son speaks publicly for first time nearly a decade on from father's brutal murder

The son of Lee Rigby, who was murdered in broad daylight on May 22, 2013, has spoken for the first time since his father's death. The British Army man was killed 200 yards from his barracks in Woolwich in a murder that caught the attention of the nation.

The 25-year-old father to son Jack was killed by two Islamist extremists while his child was just two years old. Jack, now 12, is hoping to honour his hero father after he was present at his military funeral in Bury ten years ago clutching a teddy bear given to him by Lee, reports the Mirror.

Jack has grown up without a father and was affected to the point he wasn't able to speak as a toddler due to the trauma. But as a decade is soon to be passed since Lee died, he has spoken out for the first time.
