Victoria says: “This is the Knife Angel in Central Park, Chelmsford. It is a 27ft sculpture made from 100,000 confiscated knives. It is touring the UK and acts as a warning to families about the consequences of knife crime. It is both amazing and scary… the size of some of the knives is unbelievable.” If you are a keen photographer, why not send your pictures to us at educate@neu.org.uk They should be large and high resolution, accompanied by 50 words telling readers about the subject.
