Lucie Dennis, who used to work with Egan, plans to attend the demonstration to point out her assist for him.
She advised listeners: “Sean was known for being a fantastic manager at Morrisons. In Aldridge there are so many customers and he would recognise them and greet them. He was a lovely manager to work for; he was patient.
“This poor man has spiralled right into a state of despair. He wants a job. Whatever we are able to do to assist him, let’s all work collectively.”
He appeared on Good Morning Britain on ITV, where Sir Mark Rowley, the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, threw his support behind the former store manager, saying he “sympathised utterly”.
Rowley added: “I’m bewildered by the case. If a retailer manager feels they can intervene and so they really feel they will try this safely, we might all the time need individuals to do this. We need the general public to be a part of the battle towards crime.”
