A vigil has been organised in Bracknell for two dogs who were killed by Metropolitan Police in East London earlier this month.

Campaigners across the country have come together in solidarity, arguing that the killing of these bull dogs was ‘barbaric’ and ‘horrific’.

On Sunday, June 4, a vigil will be held in the beautiful grounds of Lily Hill Park where there will be a two-minute silence at 2pm in memory of Marshall and Millions who were ‘unnecessarily’ shot down.

The organiser of the Bracknell vigil said that she wanted to arange the peaceful gathering to stand in solidarity with other dog owners and to raise awareness on BSL legislation issues.

Although some bull dogs are considered 'dangerous', many dog owners across the UK want to help stop prejudice against ‘bull breeds’ who have a reputation of aggression.

Central organisers of the event, Marshall and Millions Army, are collaborating with people in different towns and cities across the UK to break a new Guinness World Record.

The Bracknell vigil is currently the only one to be set-up in Berkshire.

People who are interested are being encouraged to bring their dogs along to the meeting point at the ‘Big Oak Table’ and finishing with a walk through the stunning woodlands.

Amanda Rowe, an IOPC regional director, told the Miror newspaper: “We understand the public concern regarding this incident and it is appropriate that it should be independently investigated.

“We will examine whether the actions of the officers involved were reasonable and proportionate in all of the circumstances and in line with relevant policy and procedure.”
