sculpture of an angel crafted from a lot of knife.

Knives seized by 40 police forces have been made into a giant angel sculpture that creators want to put on display in Trafalgar Square 
More than 100,000 knives have been handed in to police forces since amnesty scheme started two years ago
Sussex Police are latest to contribute to huge 'Knife Angel' being constructed at the British Ironwork Centre
Only South Yorkshire Police are left to offer their contribution to the sculpture, made by sculptor Alfie Bradley
Owner of ironworks wants it to be displayed in Trafalgar Square as a national tribute to victims of knife crime 




This huge angel made from thousands of blades surrendered under a police amnesty scheme may soon serve as a poignant tribute to the victims of knife crime. 
Sussex Police this week became the latest of more than 40 forces across Britain to offer its support for the so-called Knife Angel - created by the Shropshire-based British Ironwork Centre.
It's made using some of around 100,000 knives that have been taken off the streets in England and Wales during the project, set up two years ago with the backing of the Home Office.


Amazing.
