STORYLINE
The family of murdered British soldier Lee Rigby spoke of their love and pride for him at an emotional news conference in London on Friday.
His wife Rebecca broke down as she spoke of her late husband, saying he had been a devoted father to their two-year-old son Jack.
Rigby's stepfather Ian said he was a loving son and a man who made friends at home and all over the world where he had been sent on duty.
"He believed life was for living and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him."
Rigby, who was 25, joined the army in 2006 and was posted first to Cyprus and later served in Afghanistan and Germany.
He took up a recruiting post with the military in London in 2011.
Rigby was killed by two men on Wednesday afternoon while horrified bystanders stood by.
The two men accused of killing the British soldier had been part of previous investigations by security services, a British official said on Thursday, as investigators searched several locations and tried to determine whether the men were part of a wider plot to instil terror on the streets of London.
Outside the Royal Artillery Barracks in the Woolwich area of south London where Rigby was killed, people continued to pay tribute to the soldier by laying flowers and gifts.
One man said he was disgusted by the killing.
"My uncle lives just in them blocks of flats. My family are just over there. I'm absolutely fuming."
Another woman said people should come and lay flowers in protest, rather than protest or take it out on the police.
On Wednesday, riot police had been deployed in Woolwich as about 50 men waving the flag of the far-right English Defence League gathered, singing nationalistic songs and shouting obscenities about the Quran.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg meanwhile told a meeting of faith and community leaders on Friday that people had a choice to give in to fear or unite in the face of adversity.
He said Rigby's killers wanted to sow dissent and division and distort the principles of Islam.
He thanked Muslim community leaders for speaking out against the killing in clear terms.
"Terrorism has no religion because there is no religious conviction that can justify the kind of arbitrary, savage, random violence that we saw on the streets of Woolwich," Clegg said.
"Thank you for speaking out so forcefully as you have done. Thank you for speaking out as clearly as you have done for a great salvation religion, for your faith and for the communities in which you live and which you lead."
