Attackers 'posed'
Michelle Nimmo was driving past the scene with her baby in the back and mother, Tina Nimmo, in the front passenger seat.
Tina Nimmo told her daughter to stop the car and got out.
She said she saw one of the attackers stab Fusilier Rigby, and the soldier's body was then dragged into the road. She said she shouted at the men to stop.
"I wanted them to stop. At the time you just get on and do what you have to do. And that's what I had to do," she said.
A bus stopped near the scene and she warned passengers to stay back because one of the men had a gun.
The men then "posed a bit more" and were "very proud of what they had in their hands".
She called 999 and warned the operator that police would need armed support, the court heard.
"These chaps weren't going anywhere, they were standing there. It just became more and more obvious that something was going to happen," she said.
'Cowardly and callous'
The trial began on Friday with the prosecution's account of what took place when Fusilier Rigby was attacked as he walked to Woolwich Barracks.
Prosecutors say the defendants drove a car into the soldier, before trying to decapitate him in a "cowardly and callous murder".
The court has also heard a number of witness accounts, including one passer-by who said he pleaded with two men not to kill the 25-year-old from Manchester.
Members of his family, including his widow Rebecca, have been at the central London court for each day of evidence so far.
The trial continues.
