The family of Lee Rigby, the soldier murdered in the street in Woolwich, south-east London, last week, has said he would not have wanted his death to be used to justify retaliatory attacks.
The statement, which said family members had been amazed at the "truly staggering" support they had received since Rigby was killed, was released on Friday as a coroner opened the inquest into the 25-year-old's death.
Meanwhile, detectives investigating Rigby's murder have arrested a man on suspicion of involvement in supplying firearms illegally.
One of the suspects, Michael Adebowale, has been charged with murder and possessing a firearm, a 9.4mm Dutch calibre KNIL Model 91 revolver.
