People joined a protest against knife crime in Wellingborough today (21st Aug) following the death of a teenage boy in the town.

16-year-old Dylan Holliday was fatally tabbed near Queensway Park earlier this month.

The 'Off the Streets' march brought people together to call for an end to weapons and violence on the streets.


Police said knives had been handed in before the march to organisers.
