Ilkeston residents have described an anti-violence bee monument in the town as "chilling" and "thought-provoking". The eye-catching model - which is touring Derbyshire - is 11ft tall and was created using various weapons, including knives and firearms, which were seized by Greater Manchester Police from the city's streets.
The aim of the bee is to prevent violence and it provides a visual representation of intolerance to crime. The bee is on a trailer touring across the UK to share the anti-violence message.
The sculpture was in Long Eaton yesterday (December 6). And today (December 7), it was in Ilkeston.
