But personal trainer Aimee, now 31, found love again with Simon Jackson-Lyall, 32, and they tied the knot last week. 

Simon shared an Instagram pic of them toasting the big day with champagne and said: “Married the love of my life @aimee.ann yesterday. What an amazing whirlwind of a day!”

Sources said Lee’s family was delighted. A friend said: “Aimee’s a beautiful, kind and loving young woman which is why Lee loved her so much.

“He wouldn’t want her to be sad forever. If anyone deserves to be happy again, it’s Aimee.”

Friends of sound technician Simon celebrated, with one posting: “Love, love, love this.” 

Aimee met dad-of-one Lee, together below, at an Army cadets camp in Wales in 2012 and they were engaged a year later.

She was with the Army in Afghanistan when she heard of his death in Woolwich, South East London, in May 2013.

She went on to set up the Lee Rigby Fund.

 Adebolajo, now 37, and Adebowale, 30, told witnesses they had avenged the killing of Muslims by British troops. 

They lost appeals against their life terms, prompting Aimee to say: “I hope this is the last we’ll hear from them.”
