A permanent memorial is to be built in tribute to murdered soldier Drummer Lee Rigby in his home town.
Plans are being drawn up for a 'lasting tribute' to the 25-year-old who was from Middleton in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
Drummer Rigby was stabbed to death outside Woolwich barracks in south east London in May.
Rochdale Council leader Colin Lambert said: 'We are planning, along with his family, to provide a lasting tribute to Lee which is befitting to his memory and bravery.'
It is not known at this stage exactly where or what form the memorial will take, but reports suggest it may be located in a local park.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, have been charged with Drummer Rigby's murder and are due to stand trial at the Old Bailey on November 18. » | Steve Robson | Saturday, July 06, 2013
