Lee Rigby, the soldier who was murdered in broad daylight near Woolwich Barracks in London on May 22 was buried this morning at a private military funeral at the Parish church in Bury. Hundreds of members of the public stood on Rochdale road in Bury and many more on Hollin Lane in Middleton to pay their last respect after the service as the cortege arrived in Rigby's hometown.
The father of one, described as a popular and humorous soldier had served in Afghanistan and was a drummer for the regiment. Floral tributes with words like "brother", "son" and "husband" accompanied his coffin draped in the Union flag.
