Tributes to Lee Rigby on the corner of Rectory Place
Drummer Lee Rigby
Lee Rigby was an off-duty soldier, a member of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers who was not based at Woolwich, but did live there. On 22 May 2013 he was murdered on Artillery Place in a particularly vicious attack, with allegedly religious-extremist motives, which shocked the country. Hundreds of people left floral and written tributes in the days that followed.
