A candlelight procession and vigil is taking place tomorrow.

An event is taking place on the 29 of June to bid farewell to the Knife Angel sculpture in Nuneaton town centre.

The 27-foot-tall sculpture has been in Nuneaton this month as part of its nationwide tour.

The world-famous sculpture was created by artist Alfie Bradley and is made from more than 100,000 blades.

The Knife Angel highlights the negative effects of violent crime.

The event starts at 6.30 pm tomorrow (Thursday 29 June) and there will be a procession, a performance from Spoken Word Artist Quinton Milise and time for reflection.
