This sculpture is made from about 100,000 bladed weapons collected through knife amnesty bins and it features messages from families of the victims of knife crime. It's toured the country with the aim of reminding people of the dangers of knife crime.

The sculpture's creators said it had toured the UK since 2017 representing the nation's "rejection of violence"

A spokesperson for the service said: "Bradford Youth Justice Service are proud to announce that The Knife Angel is coming to Bradford City Park in April. "This huge sculpture made entirely from knives asks 'Why?' about knife crime and promotes positive action." In a statement the British Ironworks Centre, which took two years to create the sculpture said it represented the nation's "intolerance and rejection of violence".

The centre said communities had "embraced the Angel and all it stands for with a multitude of towns and cities stepping up to join the list of hosting locations and arranging education workshops, conferences and activities".
