With pain etched on their faces, the family of murdered British soldier Lee Rigby today paid an emotional visit to the scene where he was hacked to death.
Drummer Rigby's mother Lyn, stepfather Ian and estranged wife Rebecca looked at the thousands of tributes in Woolwich and left a balloon from his two-year-old son Jack saying 'Dad in a million'.
The
relatives arrived at the place where he was killed at 12.40pm. They
hugged and comforted each other before crossing the road to look at the
spot where he was murdered on Wednesday.
One
clutched a teddy bear, while others held baskets of flowers which they
left at the scene. They then spent a few moments in reflection, still
clutching each other.
And among the masses of poignant messages left in south-east London, one very personal message was placed separately yesterday. Aimee West, his fiancée, laid flowers with a handwritten note.

off as his 'Princess'.

Jeannie Out of the Bottle: Barbara even named her 2011 memoir after the series
Dallas star Larry Hagman, who passed away from throat cancer last November, played Captain Tony Nelson opposite the then 31-year-old starlet.
Meant to compete with the rival series Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie was created by Sidney Sheldon and aired on NBC in 1965.
The series, which was a mild hit at the time, became hugely popular during decades of syndication and the two spin-off reunion movies - neither of which starred Hagman.
Barbara even named her 2011 memoir after the series.
Jeannie Out of the Bottle detailed her two failed marriages and her 'emotional breakdown' following the death of her only child, Matthew Ansara, from an accidental heroin overdose in 2001.
Before appearing on Jeannie, the pretty starlet made appearances on shows like I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, Gunsmoke, Father Knows Best, and The Andy Griffith Show.

The
portrait, painted by artist Johan Andersson, is expected to fetch over

Mr Andersson, one of the
youngest ever artists to be exhibited at the National Portrait gallery,
said his own mother's struggle with breast cancer inspired the oil
painting.
Swedish Mr
Andersson made a name for himself through highly commended portraits of
singer Amy Winehouse and ex-dictator of Libya Muammar Gaddaffi.
He said: ‘My mother had aggressive
breast cancer when I was 15, the thought of her having to have a
mastectomy really scared me and she was fortunate enough to have surgery
without the mastectomy.
‘The
recent news about Angelina stirred an anxiety within me leading me to
paint this portrait. There is an underlying awkwardness in her demeanour
in juxtaposition to the natural beauty of her face.’
The Oscar-winning actress underwent the
surgery after learning he carried the BRCA1 gene mutation that doctors
estimated gave her an 87 per cent chance of developing breast cancer.

children, Maddox, 11, Pax, nine, Zahara, eight, Shiloh, six, and
four-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne. The three eldest are adopted

Andersson is the youngest artist ever to be short-listed for the BP
Portrait Award, which also makes him one of the youngest artists ever to
