The sculpture is made from more than 100,000 knives donated to the Ironworks, collected through police force surrender campaigns across the country.

It stands at 27 ft tall and is a symbol against violence and aggression, and a memorial to those who have lost their lives to knife crime.

PC Christian Sewell said: "While the sculpture has been in Hull, we rolled out our school programme as part of the #NoMoreKnives campaign to educate children of the dangers of knife crime.

"The more young people that are aware of the dangers the more we can prevent young people losing their lives in knife crime."

The piece will be moved from the city on 4 March.

Thieves have stolen tandem bikes from a charity in West Yorkshire which helps blind and disabled people get access to the countryside.

The Open Country charity, which has a site in Wakefield, was targeted by thieves who stole four of its eight bikes on Tuesday night.

The thieves "used effort" to get into the Thornes Park base and steal the blue Orbit Routier or Velocity bikes, which all had serial numbers.

The charity's organisers fear the bikes may be offered for sale online.

All the bikes are less than 14 months old and the charity said one of the bikes had only been picked up two weeks ago.

Ella Dixon, who runs the Wakefield project, said the bikes were used to help people who may be blind, while others have physical or mental disabilities meaning they can't ride a bike alone.

The Harrogate-based charity runs five tandem clubs across Yorkshire and said that in 2018 all their rides together totalled over 24,500 miles.

The incident at Fraisthorpe was called in by a concerned passerby, who reported that the seal was unable to get down on his own and had been stuck there for over 24 hours.

The RSPCA was approached for help by Scarborough Sea Life Centre on Tuesday.

Animal Collection Officer Leanne Honess-Heather Hone said: "The poor seal was clearly distressed and we could see he had injured his eye.

"Because he had been stuck up there for 24 hours, and had been exposed to the strong sun throughout the heat of the day, he was very dehydrated.

"Luckily we managed to get him down safely and he was soon on his way to Scarborough Sea Life Centre.

"The seal's eye had sustained some trauma and was slightly infected, so he received some veterinary treatment."

The seal was released back into the wild on Wednesday.

An internship has been launched in memory of Len Tingle, BBC Yorkshire's former political editor.

Tingle, from Cudworth near Barnsley, began his journalism career in 1981 and had been political editor for 17 years when he died of cancer in 2018 at the age of 63.

The placement is open to students at seven Yorkshire universities that run a journalism degree.

His widow Angela Tingle said journalism had been "a passion not a job".

Tingle, who lived in the Huddersfield area for many years, was interested in journalism, Yorkshire and giving opportunities to young people from diverse backgrounds.

The successful applicant will work in radio, television and online services while being mentored by BBC journalists.

The seven universities are Huddersfield, Leeds Beckett, Leeds Trinity, Leeds, Sheffield Hallam, Sheffield and York St John.
