I need to begin by expressing my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Lee Rigby who was cruelly murdered last week in Woolwich. This was a young solider willing to protect his country. He is a fallen hero and I am certain that the people of Middleton will gather round the family and offer all the help and support they can.
