Cricketers join our Stop Knives Save Lives campaign

Four of England's cricketers pose proudly as they add their support to the Mirror's Stop Knives Save Lives campaign.

Wearing T-shirts bearing a picture of 16-year-old stab victim Ben Kinsella, players Tim Ambrose, Stuart Broad, Alistair Cook and captain Michael Vaughan became the latest stars to join our bid to end the violence on the streets. Vaughan said: "We would like to send our sympathies to those families who have lost loved ones due to knife crime. It is having a devastating impact. We are happy to lend our support to this campaign."

They were pictured at Headingley in Leeds where today they will play South Africa just as Ben's family and friends gather for his funeral.
