Derby says Farewell to Knife Angel after thousands visit
We have said farewell to the Knife Angel this morning (Wednesday 30 October) after more than 125,000 people visited during October.
The sculpture, made from 100,000 bladed weapons handed in to police forces across the country, has been outside Derby Cathedral since the beginning of the month.
During that time more than 125,000 people have visited, 1000 people have left anti-knife crime messages and 500 young people have been educated about the dangers of carrying a bladed weapon.
Rachel Morris, Chief Executive at Derby Cathedral and Chair of the group that brought the Angel to Derby, said: “We have been delighted with the success of the Knife Angel, particularly in achieving our goal of raising public awareness through engagement and education.”
Inspector Richard Keene, who works to reduce knife crime in Derbyshire, said: “Derbyshire police have been really pleased to have supported the visit of the Knife Angel to Derby.
“Knife crime continues to rise in Derbyshire and we are determined to do all we can to reduce it, by targeting those we suspect of carrying bladed weapons and a programme of educating young people and other initiatives.
“One thing is clear, however, we can’t police our way out of this problem and everyone has to play their part. The visit of the Knife Angel has shown that the whole community can work together and we are particularly grateful for all those that gave up their time and expertise in volunteering to make this project happen.”
The Knife Angel now continues its tour of the country and will be in Chester during November.

Knife Angel officially unveiled in front of hundreds of spectators
Last night, more than 200 people gathered outside Derby Cathedral for the official unveiling of the ‘Knife Angel’ sculpture, which arrived in the city this week.
The spectacular 27ft sculpture is made up of about 100,000 bladed weapons collected during police surrender schemes over the last few years.
Its official title is the National Monument Against Violence and Aggression and its aim is to highlight the impact such crime, particularly those involving knives, has on people, families and communities.
The angel was created by artist Alfie Bradley at the British Ironwork Centre and will be on display outside the cathedral until 30 October.
It was unveiled by the Bishop of Derby the Right Reverend Libby Lane, Clive Knowles from the British Ironwork Centre, and Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa.
Hundreds watched the angel as it was lit up in gold, blue and red, with police officers and cadets helping to hand out information leaflets about it.
Anyone who wants to see the angel can do so at the cathedral, in Iron Gate, with the best time to visit being between 10am and 8pm when volunteer marshals will be in place to explain its significance.
Weapons Amnesty Concludes
A World War II firearm, a pair of nun chucks and a crossbow were among almost 300 weapons handed in during a month-long amnesty.
Since the operation was launched on May 1, 286 weapons, including 32 guns, 14 swords, eight machetes and 230 knives, were surrendered at police stations across the city and at the mobile police unit.
The amnesty, which was organised by Derbyshire police and Derby City Council, ran throughout the month of May to reduce the risk of items such as knives and BB guns falling into the wrong hands.
Chief Inspector Steve Pont added: I'm very pleased that people have responded so well to the amnesty and taken the opportunity to hand their weapons in and it's reassuring that members of the community felt confident enough to come forward and hand in guns, knives and other items in such large numbers.
The message we are now sending to criminals is clear. You had the opportunity to hand in your weapons, no questions asked. Anyone now caught with a weapon on them will be dealt with severely.
Councillor Ranjit Banwait, Chair of the Ending Gang and Youth Violence Partnership and Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Streetpride at Derby City Council said: The last weapons amnesty I instigated in 2009 helped remove from circulation a significant number of weapons that could have fallen into the wrong hands. Since coming to power in May 2012 it is important that this administration takes the lead in making the streets of Derby as safe as possible for Derby residents by working in partnership with police, ward councillors and community leaders.
I'm delighted by the very positive response from the people of Derby during the month-long amnesty. Residents have engaged with us to not only surrender weapons, but to find out information about combatting gang violence and removing weapons from our communities.
Chief Insp Pont said that officers now plan to contact museums who may be interested in adding the WWII pistol to their collection.
A Visit to see the Knife Angel at Derby Cathedral, Derbyshire
Artist Alfie Bradley, designed the Knife Angel made out of 100,000 knives, to raise awareness on knife crime. Knives were collected from police forces around the UK after a knife amnesty.
At 27 ft high, the British Ironworks Centre put it all together. We went to see it outside Derby Cathedral but the sculpture is travelling around the UK. A very poignant piece of art work and a must see.

It truly is a magnificent sculpture which, if you get the chance, to see it for yourself. The vision and workmanship is outstanding. It's incredible from any angle. The up-lighting is delightful, although I only managed to see this effect for a few moments.

Rachel Webb, whose son Tom was 22 years old when he was stabbed and killed in St Peter's Street, Derby, by a 16 year old boy in January 2016, has been instrumental in bringing the Angel to Derby. She supported a knife surrender held across Derbyshire and knives from this were donated towards the creation of this sculpture.
The knife Angel has been created as a National monument against violence and aggression at the British Ironworks Centre in Oswestry and is a memorial to those whose lives have been affected by knife crime. It is a 27ft high sculpture, which Alfie Bradley has designed and created single-handedly using over 100,000 knives surrendered and collected in nationwide amnesties in 2015/2016. The angel began it's tour around the UK in 2018 when it was housed outside of Liverpool Cathedral for December and January in order to raise awareness of the impact of knife crime on society, the victims and their families and friends.
It is currently on a city tour of the UK.
Knife crime is rising across the country. The Knife Angel's presence in derby is very much a symbol of the hard work of partners and communities across Derbyshire to halt this rise.
Derbyshire Police are spearheading a multi agency campaign called Project Zao, which aims to prevent causalities and stop venerable youngsters from seeing violence as the answer. It targets those who carry knives and delivers a hard hitting educational package to thousands of young people across the county.
All 43 national police forces, the Home Office, anti-violence groups across the UK and hundreds of families who have been affected by knife crime are all strongly supporting the Knife Angel. Relatives of those killed by knife crime were invited to engrave the blades with names and messages for their loved ones as part of the sculpture.
The Knife Angel is a symbol of defiance and change, shining a spotlight on Britain's knife crime problem and its impact on communities, families and individuals.
The Angel; is helping to raise awareness of violent crime and helping young people understand the reasons not to carry knives.
Please show your support and join us in standing up to knife crime!

Video of the arrival back into Markeaton Park of the 2010 Road Run. The show is staged to raise funds for the Derby Children's Hospital. For the first time the number of children exceeded the our estimates and we had to call for more engines. This was a wonderful problem to have, everyone was so patient and the road run was a roaring success.... We have to apologise to the neighbours about the noise we made though!
