We are petioning parliament to allow a Lee Rigby Memorial Day on May 22nd every year.
This young innocent soldier was murdered in a terrorist attack on the streets of London in broad daylight. Any flowers etc left at the site of his murder are removed continuously so therefore we ask for the day of his murder to be recognised as his memorial day, when people can go and leave flowers etcs and remember Lee as he rightly should be.

I have been staring at the screen thinking about how the flowers always end up cleared away and it just feels so wrong that there is no space for people to show they remember. Honestly it is exhausting trying to get anyone in a position of power to actually listen to what we are asking but I am not planning on stopping because the silence from the authorities is just making me more determined to keep this moving forward.

He fought and served his country bravely and was killed in a horrible way. He deserves to be remembered.

Lee has served his country and made the ultimate every bit as much as if he died on the battlefieds of some far flung country and deserves our highest honour and respect

A Queens soldier hacked to death on the streets of London by terrorists in broad daylight...if he doesn't warrant a memorial day then no-one does!

I think it's the proper thing to do as a mark of respect for a young man who served Queen and Country, and had his life so horrifically cut short in a place he should have been safe, his homeland.

Lee was brutally murdered by terrorists in broad daylight. He was a total innocent . Flowers left in his memory are removed so let people have a day to remember him and to let his family know he will never be forgotton
