A campaign for a memorial to murdered soldier Lee Rigby has been rejected.

The local council kicked it out despite nearly 12,000 people backing it online.

Campaigners including Lee’s mum Lyn wanted it near the spot where the fusilier , 25, was hacked to death close to Woolwich Barracks, South East London.

Campaign leader Lorna Taylor, whose son served with Lee, said: “I’m gutted.
