Dressed in all white with his left arm heavily bandaged (centre), the 28 year old, who is accused of murdering Lee Rigby, 25, (above centre) kissed the Koran and pointed to the sky while flanked by two police officers and a prison guard. As he arrived in the courtroom he appeared to blow a kiss to a friend in the public gallery. He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey within 48 hours. Earlier he was swept into Westminster Magistrates Court in an armoured vehicle led by a police convoy (left). A number of armed officers (right) formed a ring of steel and shut off roads around the court in central London. Meanwhile the other key suspect in the Drummer Rigby case, Michael Adebowale, 22, appeared at the Old Bailey via video link. He was remanded in custody.
