The soldier killed in an attack on a
London street has been named as Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion the Royal
Regiment of Fusiliers.
It had initially proved difficult to identify the body because of the mutilations inflicted by the two killers using a meat cleaver, a machete and knives.

Drummer Rigby, 25, from Manchester, leaves behind a two-year-old son.
"An extremely popular and witty soldier, Drummer Rigby was a larger than life
personality within the Corps of Drums and was well known, liked and respected
across the Second Fusiliers," the MoD statement said.
Commanding officer Lt Col Jim Taylor said of Drummer Rigby: "An experienced
and talented side drummer and machine gunner, he was a true warrior and served
with distinction in Afghanistan, Germany and Cyprus."
Captain Alan Williamson said: "Drummer Rigby or 'Riggers' as he was known within the platoon was a cheeky and humorous man, always there with a joke to brighten the mood."
Lee Rigby was a Northern lad - a volunteer to an army that every British patriot is still proud of - cut down by a pair of rabid, Muslim fanatics..........the madness of multi-racialism that made this situation possible MUST end!!!
