The mother of a teenager who died after being swept out to sea off Bournemouth has criticised the local council for setting up an art installation that frames the tragedy.
Vanessa Abbess, the mother of Joe Abbess, 17, said the installation on Bournemouth beach called Portal, which was to be a focal point for the town’s Arts by the Sea festival, was disrespectful to her son and 12-year-old Sunnah Khan, who also died.
