'A mother and daughter were the 'Angels of Woolwich' who bravely risked their own lives to comfort the soldier left dying in the street.
Gemini Donnelly-Martin, 20, and her mother Amanda, stepped forward and asked the attackers if they could be by Drummer Lee Rigby's side.
Their refusal to be cowed by the terrorists won praise from all quarters, including Downing Street.
Although other bystanders watched in horror and police waited helplessly for armed officers to arrive, Gemini modestly insisted her and her mother were not heroes and had done what anyone else would do.
She told the Daily Mirror: 'We did what anyone would do. We just wanted to take care of the man. It wasn't brave. Anyone would have done it. It had to be done. They (the killers) said women could pass.'
'The only thing people need to worry about is that poor man's mum. We are grateful, though, for what people are saying about us.'
When it became apparent Drummer Lee Rigby was beyond their help, they shielded his body from further desecration by his savage attackers.
Amanda, 44, insisted she be allowed to pray for the dead man even when confronted by one of the killer. Kneeling at his side, she cradled him gently, seemingly unfazed by his horrific wounds.
Yesterday Gemini was back searching for work at a local job fair while her mother did not want to talk about what happened.'

England and Britain are not the same thing.
Do they not have tasers?
Even having a long baton you can beat the crap out of someone with a short knife. I speak from experience.
And, your culture is identical? My people haven’t been here that long.(Grahams, Smiths and Shortlands)
My grandmother had a particular hatred of royals.
Wussification and muslim take over of Britain, 100%.
Good for you. Glad you moved back. Now you too can enjoy all of the benefits of your PC country, once the crown jewel, now, not so much. Might I refer you to another thread running currently on FR entitled “The London Horror and Jihad Denial” which pretty much sums up the U.K.’s current mentality.
I might add, I just heard on Fox News that your U.K. jets are this very moment escorting a plane that initiated in Pakistan headed for Manchester, to an airport elsewhere in the U.K., attempting to force it to land. Looks like you might have another more imminent Muzzie problem on your hands. Time for you to turn on your Telly.
P.S., I regularly exchange e-mails with a Brit Professor friend of mine that I worked with over here at a major public University in IL. We both retired and he moved back to London. He thinks just like I do about the problems currently afflicting the U.K., and we discuss it all the time. I also have relatives who live right outside of London (he is a retired opera singer, Coventry Garden) who my older sister keeps in contact with, so I have my U.K. sources to keep up on things, plus I am on an ex-Pat’s of U.K. e-mailing list. It makes me sick what is happening to Britain. Maybe you have a little too much of the more socialistic Scotsman in you. You must toughen up and imitate your earlier ancestors. They wouldn’t have put up with what is happening now in the U.K. for even one nanosecond.
and as we are finding out massive voter fraud and oppression.
You’re right.
I havent a socialist bone in my body. And as an ex-Para, I dont need to toughen up, thanks.
I have never had a desire to travel to England and frankly do not understand the fascination of some Americans with having Brits on our news casts.
“Do they not have tasers?

If they did, they sure didn’t use them. Probably have marching orders to do nothing until someone who is armed shows up. They were up against Muzzie terrorists, after all, and therefore the Jihadists have to be treated with kid gloves.
Yes but those numbers are still bunk. When you breakdown gun violence down into racial components, US gun violence is extremely low. Most of the gun violence occurs in liberal cesspools with strong gun laws.
You must understand our outrage as we watch another brave soldier brutally murdered in the name of Islam. Progressives continue to make excuses for this religion of peace as jihadists continue to invade our countries. It’s time for the world to wake up.
Real men would not have allowed England to be taken over by Muslim slime. That goes for America too.
“Our murder, gun murder and gun crime rates are a fraction of the US.”
Your country is a fraction of the size of the U.S.
“And as an ex-Para, I dont need to toughen up, thanks.”
On the topic of making sure your country survives you do.
Duh.
But with a fifth of the US population, we have a sixteenth of the gun murders of the US. Almost no serial killers as opposed to 75% of ALL serial killers being in the US.
I’m confused. What happened to the killers. Were they shot to death by police?
“I have never had a desire to travel to England and frankly do not understand the fascination of some Americans with having Brits on our news casts.”
It’s that British accent, lol. It sucks you in every time. I must admit to loving how Brits speak the King’s English. It gets a bit dicey when you start dealing with the Cockney accent though. Or a Scottish accent. Not so easy to decipher what they are saying. The Irish accent is a little easier to understand, but even that accent has its moments. God bless the U.K. and may they survive their PC problems, as I also hope we survive ours.
Islam is not more a religion than is communism. This is war. We start by arming ourselves and dealing with these bas*ards on our own turf. We then have demand that our gov’t declare all out war on these people state side. The Mosques are nothing but pubic fronts to hide the radicalism underneath.
“Almost no serial killers as opposed to 75% of ALL serial killers being in the US.”
Just watch out for the Muzzie killers walking your streets. Or the Muzzie bombers in your towns. Or the ones blowing up your airplanes. You’ve got a lot more Muzzies proportionately than we do, and being a much smaller country than the U.S., they are more condensed; ours are spread out more throughout the land. More watered down, as it were. Your Muzzies are more ubiquitous. By the way, did you turn on your Telly to see what’s happening with the plane from Pakistan that is being escorted by Brit jets right now and being forced to land?
I’m Canadian Mr Scotsman, and I was a soldier for 10 years, I’ve been places too as well as there, and all over the US. Granted I wouldn’t feel safe in a few places in the US ( where they have strict gun laws), I would feel far far safer in many places in the US over the UK hands down.
I don’t care if you want to arm your police or not, that’s not the issue here, the issue is when are real men like yourself going to stand up in numbers and say enough is enough and take your country back. You folks have a long history of resisting tyranny, what in God’s name happened?
