WYRE Forest welcomed a huge sculpture made from seized firearms and knives this week.
The anti-violence bee has been touring Worcestershire, Shropshire, and Herefordshire this month.
It’s the first UK sculpture to be made entirely from knives and firearms.
It is visiting schools, community hubs and town centres to educate and raise awareness of the dangers of carrying weapons.
The sculpture visited Riverside Meadows Park in Stourport and Weavers Wharf in Kidderminster on Tuesday (November 15).
A team from the British Ironwork Centre, which also created the Knife Angel, created the bee for Greater Manchester Police as part of the police force's campaign against gun violence.
A 7.5-tonne lorry arrived at the Ironworks in July 2020, delivering thousands of weapons collected from streets in Manchester.
