I remember this like it was a year ago. Thoughts are with his family on this very sad anniversary.

RIP Lee.

One of the most vile acts of all time on British soil. I hope he son who is 12 now is able to have some sort of normal life. An I hope the two killers die in jail

Horrific.

What I find distasteful is that it seems far more acceptable these days to pass reference to anniverseries like the death of people like Bobby Sands. WTF is wrong with society these days.

It is often worth looking up a bit of history of the "troubles" because there were two sides to it and the British definitely sided with one side. Also worth looking at Bobby Sands youth and what he and his family went through.

I heard this on the radio earlier and honestly I thought it was longer ago that that.

I doubt either of his killers will ever taste freedom.

I can remember it clearly, because by coincidence I remember exactly where I was. Me, wife and dogs were enjoying a week in the Lakes and heard this on the news after returning from a lovely day out on the fells. It was an utterly vile, repugnant act of the worst sort of cowardly brutality.

I hope the perperators never see the light of day and never spend a day not looking over their shoulders for the next, richly deserved DIY punishment.
