British Muslim groups are organising marches and rally in memory of the soldier Lee Rigby, who died last week in Woolwich.

A silent march will be held tomorrow afternoon from 5pm in Ilford, starting at Ilford Junction.

A Facebook page for the event is here.

A coalition of Muslim and anti-racist groups are organising a separate event for Friday afternoon, to be held in Woolwich.

The second march will be held in advance of a BNP demonstration also in Woolwich on Saturday. Details of this event should be finalised and released today.

Both events are seeking police permission.
