The son of Fusilier Lee Rigby has spoken out publicly for the first time since his dad's tragic death 10 years ago. Jack Rigby was just two years old when he attended his father's military funeral after he was brutally murdered on May 22, 2013 by Islamist extremists outside his barracks in Woolwich, South East London.
At the funeral Jack could be seen holding onto a regimental teddy bear his Dad had bought him, and he wore a t-shirt with gold letters on the back, which stated: “My Daddy My Hero.” Due to his young age, Jack was barely old enough to form a lasting memory of Lee, let alone understand how or why his dad was taken from them.
Jack has suffered from this life-altering loss, he has been forced to grow up without his dad and has had to learn the horrific way he lost his life. Due to the trauma of what happened, as a toddler Jack lost the ability to speak for some months, and regressed back to babyhood, reports The Daily Mirror.
