An estimated throng of 2,000 strong English patriots marched peacefully through the streets of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England to honor the recently butchered British "Squaddie" (English slang for soldier), as reported by the Shropshire Star (of Telford, England) on May 25, 2013.
Drummer Lee Rigby of Her Majesty's Royal Artillery was attacked while
walking outside the Royal Artillery Barracks in the Woolwich area of
south London just days ago.
Two Muslim attackers first struck Drummer Rigby with their car, then when dazed and injured, they proceeded to butcher him with a meat cleaver and a butcher's knife.
The Afghan war vet was eventually very slowly publicly beheaded.
The gruesome scene was recorded on witnesses' cellphones, and a video emerged in which one of the two suspects -- his hands bloodied -- boasted of their exploits and warned of more violence as the soldier lay on the ground. Holding bloody knives and a meat cleaver, the suspects waited for police, who shot them in the legs, witnesses said.
In the video, one of the suspects declared, "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you ... We must fight them as they fight us."
Meanwhile In Newcastle...
As reported, members of the patriotic organization, the English Defence League (EDL) gathered in the northeastern English city of Newcastle Upon Tyne to honor the fallen warrior.
Drummer Rigby's official military title was "Drummer," but served in combat fighting the Taliban as a machine gunner, and by all accounts, served with honor, distinction and valor.
With few exceptions, the march was peaceful and ended in an orderly fashion.
Chief Superintendent Gary Calvert stated to the press:
While on the honor march, EDL members and supporters were heard to chant "Lee Rigby, RIP" and "Whose streets? Our streets."
As seen in the video (left), the most prominent flag was the official colors of England, the red and white Cross of St. George.
A smattering of red, white and blue Union Jacks were visible, as well as a prominently flown "Rainbow flag" of the homosexual pride movement.
During an hour-long gathering at the end of the march, the assembled held a one minute moment of silence for the fallen Squaddie.
When an unidentified man who appeared wearing a British Army desert camouflage uniform, he was given a rousing reception when he displayed the flag of St George printed with the words "RIP Lee Rigby."
Conduct Of The Media...
Noteworthy is the branding of the EDL by some of the major news organs of the world as far-right wing, despite the group's stated position of being an inclusive movement dedicated to peacefully protesting against Islamic extremism as well as desirous of wanting the Muslim community in Great Britain to make serious efforts to counter Islamic extremism.
Examples include:

I am pleased this protest passed off without major incident. Disruption was kept to a minimum and we are grateful for the support we received from local communities.EDL Conduct...
However the vast majority of those taking part were well behaved.

Examples include:
- America's CNN refered to the EDL as "far right marchers."
- The AFP of France has tagged the group as "the anti-Islam EDL."
- The Independent of Great Britain claims the patriotic groups as a "right-wing group."
