Rigby and his fiancée, Aimee West
Lee Rigby's fiancée has found happiness again
with a cadet major who was a friend of the murdered soldier.
Aimee West, 24, was devastated when her
husband-to-be was hacked to death in the street in Woolwich, south east London,
two years ago - but has now found comfort in Major Paul Draper.
The 51-year-old father-of-three was a friend of
Fusilier Rigby and attended his funeral.
In the past few months, the pair has been on
several dates, according to The Mirror.
A source told the newspaper: 'She'll never
forget Lee – he was so important to her, but everyone wants her to be happy.
'Paul is a lot older than Aimee but he's been
there for her since Lee died.'
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale hacked Lee Rigby to death on the street
Major Draper, a decorated member of the Middlesex and North West Army Cadet Force, said he and Miss West are 'very good friends'.
Last month, he comforted Miss West as she
attended a service at St Paul's Cathedral to honour fallen soldiers in
Afghanistan.
The former Royal Military Policewoman, is set to
run the London Marathon for charity this month in honour of
Fusilier Rigby.
In May 2013, he was knocked down near army
barracks by Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, who had spotted his Help
for Heroes hooded top.
Adebolajo and Adebowale were handed life
sentences after murdering the 25-year-old in broad daylight.
