Mayor's statement on 10th anniversary of murder of Lee Rigby
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of Fusilier Lee Rigby on the 10th anniversary of his senseless murder. We will never forget the appalling events of that day and on behalf of all Londoners, I want to extend deepest sympathies to his loved ones and all those impacted by his death.
“London will never be cowed by terrorism and Londoners will always stand together in the face of hate and division and those who wish to harm our way of life.
“Our city continues to face the constantly evolving threat of terrorism in our communities. That’s why I am determined to do everything I can to tackle terrorism in all its forms by funding vital community-led and grassroots projects that stand up against all forms of hate, intolerance and extremism and investing record sums in our police so that we can build a safe city for everyone.”
