A MULTI-FAITH ceremony in remembrance of Drummer Lee Rigby (inset) was held near his barracks in Woolwich.

Drummer Rigby was murdered at the Royal Artillery barracks in south-east London in May.

His widow Rebecca and young son Jack live in Southowram, near Brighouse.

Representatives of all the major faiths attended yesterday’s service at Woolwich Central Baptist Church.

A wreath was also placed at the site of Drummer Rigby's attack and a collection taken for a Peace Monument designed by an artist from the area.

Event organiser Wilson Chowdhry, president of the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA), said: “When news broke of the barbaric brutal murder of an off-duty soldier in broad daylight on a busy London street I shuddered.

“Although, sad to say, the BPCA has become accustomed to similar stories of cowardly assassinations in Pakistan I never for one moment ever expected to hear of such atrocities happening so close to home.”

Michael Adebolajo, 28, from Romford, east London, and Michael Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, south-east London, have been charged with Drummer Rigby's murder.
