COVID memorial opens in Warwickshire - but will be burned to the ground 'in a powerful moment of catharsis'

A memorial to the victims of COVID-19 in Warwickshire will be burned to the ground shortly after its completion.

It is being put up at the Miners' Welfare Park in Bedworth, with members of the public invited to adorn the walls with letters and mementoes after it opened on Saturday.

The 20m (65ft) wooden structure, which has been called Sanctuary, pays tribute to those who died after testing positive for coronavirus.
