EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph taken during a pre-season friendly match between Sheffield Wednesday and Rangers at Hillsborough Stadium, fans of Sheffield Wednesday pay tribute to the memory of Lee Rigby. The image captures a moment of unity and solidarity as supporters pass around a Union Jack flag, adorned with a heartfelt message honoring the late British soldier. The scene unfolds during a previous season, with the excitement of the upcoming football action in the background. The pre-season fixture between Sheffield Wednesday and Rangers may not have held the same significance as a league game, but for these fans, it became a platform to remember and honor a hero. Lee Rigby, a drummer in the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was tragically murdered in London in May 2013. His death sent shockwaves through the nation, and the outpouring of support from communities across the UK was a testament to the respect and admiration he earned during his military service. The photograph by Kirk O'Rourke encapsulates the spirit of the football community, demonstrating how sports can bring people together in times of grief and remembrance. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring bond between fans, the military, and the wider community, and the shared commitment to honor the sacrifices made by individuals like Lee Rigby. As the fans at Hillsborough Stadium continue their passionate display of support, the Union Jack flag passes from hand to hand, symbolizing the unity and strength of the community in the face of adversity. The scene is a poignant tribute to Lee Rigby and the sacrifices made by our military personnel, and a reminder of the power of football to bring people together in times of need.
