A candlelit vigil has been held in tribute to a cow shot dead by police.
Police marksmen shot the cow, known as Bessie, on Sunday in Wallsend, Northumbria, amid fears she could get on to a busy road and cause havoc.
On Sunday Northumbria Police deployed marksmen, aerial support and, eyewitnesses said, 15 to 20 cars, closing roads in a bid to keep the animals off the busy A1058 Coast Road.
Many of the cars were parked at a field where armed police were tracking one brown cow, which was later shot dead, reports the Newcastle Chronicle.
