Doves flutter around Salisbury in solidarity

It's been more than two months since former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a nerve agent in Salisbury.

Today as the investigation continues into the attack, the cathedral and shops have been adorned with origami doves, to represent the city's recovery.

Watch this report by Richard Slee:

Salisbury Cathedral- a place of worship and art.

Multimedia artist Michael Pendry puts the final touches to nearly 3,000 paper Doves.

It's an installation he's already exhibited all over the world.

This work was originally commissioned to commemorate the end of the First World War.

But recent events in the city have given it a new meaning.

Visitors to the cathedral are encouraged to make the own Dove.

The project has huge support in the city, where dozens of local businesses have been affected by the novichok attack.

The installation is nearly finished and it officially opens on Saturday 12th May- 22nd July.
