Two Muslim converts accused of hacking to death a British soldier in broad daylight on a London street go on trial this week.
British Prime Minister David Cameron described the killing at the time as a betrayal of Islam and an attack on the British way of life.
Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, a veteran of the Afghan war, was killed on May 22 not far from an army barracks in Woolwich, southeast London.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as "multiple incised wounds".
Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, will appear at London's Old Bailey central criminal court to deny murdering Rigby, conspiracy to murder a police officer and the attempted murder of a police officer.
Monday's court session is due to be taken up by legal argument and the swearing in of the 12-member jury with the pair unlikely to be called until at least Tuesday.
Both suspects have used their Islamic names - Mujahid Abu Hamza for Adebolajo and Ismail Ibn Abdullah for Adebowale - during pre-trial hearings.
