Today we look back to this on this day last year - when Knife Angel arrived at the Cathedral.

Knife Angel is the National Monument Against Violence & Aggression and tours towns and cities with the singular objective to bring about social change by educating children, young people and adults about the harmful effects that violent behaviour has on communities all across our nation.

Created by the British Ironworks centre in collaboration with sculptor Alfie Bradley, the sculpture is made of 100,000 knives gathered throughout the UK during knife amnesties.

During March 2023, when we hosted the 'Knife Angel’ 25,000 people came to visit and take part in events and workshops.

www.pth.org.uk/lual2023 where it will be live streamed and also a recording will be available after. Please note that the live stream will be of just the Service of Remembrance. (Sadly the projection of dedications is not easy to capture and read through a camera lens so this part of the projection will only be available to view in person on the night.)
