Marshall and Millions vigil held at Norwich Memorial Gardens

Ruth Walters and around 35 others gathered outside City Hall to mourn the loss of Marshall and Millions, two Staffordshire bull terriers aged three years old and nine months respectively.

The dogs were shot in London by Metropolitan Police officers in front of members of the public on May 7.

Ruth, 53, said: "We had a good turn out and people really made an effort, showing that we care and are bothered by what's happened.

"There was a book of remembrance which people wrote in and flowers placed at the Memorial Gardens.

"I was really pleased to see people turn up, pay their respects and were genuinely supportive."

The controversy was sparked after the Met officers were called to reports of a woman being attacked by a dog in Tower Hamlets where homeless owner Louie Turnbull, 46, was tasered and arrested.

Turnbull will stand trial later this year after denying owning a dog that caused injury when dangerously out of control but admitting being in possession while disqualified from owning or keeping dogs.

A number of vigils have since been held around the country, with the Norwich event held on Sunday (June 11).

The Independent Office for Police Conduct has launched an independent investigation.
