To Support Help For Heroes Click Here: https://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/ On 22nd May 2013, Fusilier Lee Rigby was brutally murdered in broad daylight on the streets of Woolwich, London in a horrifying terror attack that shook the UK. The killers, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, claimed their actions were revenge for British military involvement overseas. But who was Lee Rigby, and how did two British citizens become radicalised to the point of such barbarity?In this episode, we break down the full timeline of events, from Lee Rigby’s background and military service in Afghanistan, Cyprus and Germany, to the moment he was targeted simply for wearing his Help for Heroes jumper. We explore how the attack unfolded, the shocking aftermath, the attackers’ motivations, and the court case that followed.How did UK authorities miss the warning signs of radicalisation? What role did extremist ideology and personal trauma play in the lives of the perpetrators? And why is Lee Rigby still remembered to this day?This is the tragic, harrowing and important story of Lee Rigby’s murder, a case that left the nation in mourning and raised urgent questions around terrorism, homegrown extremism, and public safety.From Eleanor Neale and Sam Samworth, to CNN, ITV News, Channel 5 - the biggest True Crime Channels and Media Organisations have covered this truly shocking case. #LeeRigby #TrueCrime #JoeyAndJosh #UKNews #HelpForHeroes #BritishArmy00:00 - What made this London street attack so horrifying?04:30 - Who was Lee Rigby and why was he targeted?08:10 - How did Lee Rigby's attackers carry out the brutal murder in public?12:40 - What did eye witnesses see during Lee Rigby's attack how did they respond?17:05 - Why did one killer calmly speak to a camera after Lee Rigby's attack?21:30 - Who was the woman who fearlessly confronted the Lee Rigby's attackers?26:00 - What happened when armed police finally arrived?30:15 - What were the killers’ backgrounds and extremist beliefs?35:25 - How did the trial unfold and what shocked the courtroom?40:15 - How is Lee Rigby remembered today—and what’s his legacy?
