ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The Politicians, the Church, Family and the people of the United Kingdom came together to pay their last respect to the late Soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby that met his untimely death in the hands of duo Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale.  The Town stood still by lining the Street while the burial procession to the Church.

Yoruba adage said “It is better to die honourably at young age than to age with disgrace”.  This adage showed that even though Lee Rigby was only 25 years at the time of the unfortunate death, he was given a burial befitting for the King.  Those who cut his live short are in prison to age with disgrace in prison.

May God console his family especially his young son.  Rest in peace Drummer Lee Rigby.
