ABOVE: A sea of flowers continues to grow at the scene where Drummer Lee Rigby was murdered in Woolwich
He was one of the boys and we want to pay our respects
Biker Dave Murphy
THIS is the ever-growing sea of flowers and tributes left in honour of Lee Rigby.
Thousands of mourners continue to flock to the
makeshift memorial in Woolwich as Brits of all faiths unite to pay their
respects.
Nearby shops have sold out of flowers as the shrine swelled to 150 metres long.
The roads around the Royal Artillery barracks, last week stained with blood, are now covered in cards, teddy bears and toys.
The heart-wrenching scenes are reminiscent of the mountain of bouquets at Kensington Gardens after the death of Princess Diana in 1997.
Friends and complete strangers have joined together to reject the vile hatred of those who butchered Lee last Wednesday.
Muslims were seen bowing their heads in prayer, while a group of youngsters left a T-shirt emblazoned with the words: “Rest in Peace.”
Biker Dave Murphy rode with 60 of his pals from Kent to Woolwich, bringing a Help For Heroes flag to leave at the scene. “He was one of us,” he said. “He was one of the boys and we want to pay our respects.”
In a statement Drummer Rigby’s family thanked the public “for the amazing support” and “goodwill wishes”.
