Hello my Little Muffins,
I never posted this blog post on 12th July, Friday because of a technical problem I had when I was trying to publish the blog so I just erased it all and thought I'd merge it into a joint blog post.
This post is a special post to mark a remarkable man,
Fusilier Lee Rigby.
On the day of his funeral, thousands of people packed into the streets of Bury, Manchester to pay tribute to such an incredible man. Not only did this man, do a job he loved, he died with the title of a Soldier.

Unfortunately, Lee left behind a loving wife who is proud to say that Lee was her husband and a beautiful son, Jack Rigby. On the day his dad was laid to rest, the toddler was wearing another T-shirt made especially for the occasion. This time it was navy blue, with gold letters on the back: "My Daddy My Hero". Lee's mum Lyn, was wearing a dark jacket on to which she had pinned the red and white fluffy hackle which usually juts out from the regiment's berets.
His funeral was in the presence of Britain, David Cameron, Boris Johnson (Mayor of London), his family and his friends.

Whatever the intention of this cowardly attack has simply backfired. Today, Britain remain proud and supportive of our armed forces. When Lee was murdered on the streets of London in broad daylight. He was wearing a Help For Heroes t-shirt. To
