Big brother Kyle Thompson comforts his little sister Olivia as they visit the grave of their teenage sibling who was knifed to death.
As he wraps his arms around her and holds her tight, brave Kyle tells Olivia, 7, that their brother, Tyler is now "in a safe place".
Kyle, 23, watched as Tyler, 16, was stabbed to death in a fight in Leicester in 2015.
Pravadit Sian, 19, was jailed for nine years for manslaughter. He had been let off with a caution for carrying a knife 14 months earlier.
Now Tyler's mum, Amy Morgan, wants to share the powerful image, taken two months ago at Gilroes Cemetery, to show the reality of the knife crime epidemic sweeping the country.
She said: "How is this ok? This is so wrong. This is the raw grief we've been through. How do you explain to a little girl that her brother is six feet under the ground in a coffin. You can't, can you?
"We've told Olivia that Tyler has gone to heaven and is in the clouds.
"In the picture Kyle is just trying to comfort her and explain that nobody can hurt Tyler any more and that he's in a safe place.
"Obviously, she's just devastated. We all are. It doesn't matter how long it has been it still gets you like it was the first day.
"If you go out armed with a knife this is the end result.
"It could happen to anyone - it doesn't matter who you are.
"To anyone thinking of going out with a knife look at this image of my kids at Tyler's grave. That's what you don't see.
"You don't see the affects of what you're going to do. You don't smell the body of the person you have stabbed rotting in the coffin.
"You don't have to identify the body or watch your children collapse on the floor where their brother was stabbed to death. It's horrendous.
"Tyler was such a lovely lad. I know I'm never going to see him again but every day it goes in my head and I try and change what's happened.
"I think, and this is going to sound strange, 'is he really gone?'. Because your mind can't comprehend something which has been taken so suddenly.
"When Tyler's brothers and sisters ask where he is I just break down.
"To be honest I've not been able to visit his grave for a while because I just can't deal with it. His brothers and sisters do often pop down as painful as it is for them. It's hard to comprehend that you have a child in there.
"I've still got Tyler's school trousers, his school work and his football.
"It doesn't seem real. It still hasn't sunk in and it has almost been four years.
"I've got no choice to get up.
"Tyler's youngest brother, Ethan, was eight weeks old when I got the phone call.
"I had another baby that was just over one and I still had to change nappies, I still had to cook, still had to go shopping. I remember hiding in the aisles and literally crying, broken on the floor while Christmas music was playing.
"Everyone was in the shop, happy, music playing, everyone getting ready for Christmas. I was in GAME buying the latest Call Of Duty game to put in his coffin for Christmas.
"We put that in his coffin, along with Christmas cards and pictures of the family."
Since Tyler's death Amy has worked tirelessly to highlight knife crime and has supported Leicestershire Police's Lives Not Knives Campaign and has spoken about how her son's death has affected his eight surviving siblings.
She said: "There is a constant reminder around you all the time - Tyler's big smile, sense of humour, seeing a young lad with ambition, even his voice, just not being able to see him again.
"On the 24th November 2015, my son Tyler was stabbed and killed as I believe there was an argument, a confrontation and after this argument is when the person turned round and stabbed Tyler once in the heart and once straight through his arm.
"Tyler lost consciousness quite quickly. His brother was with him and saw what was happening to Tyler as he was left dying in the street.
"It has left a huge void that can never be replaced. Constant reminders, birthdays, anniversaries, even walks to the local parks so photos and video is all you hang on to but you can never replace a life that has been taken.
"Don't carry a knife because it will either be used on you or you're likely to use it on somebody. You don't need to carry a knife.
"If you have a problem and feel you need to carry a knife you need to talk to someone. Confide in someone. Talk to the police, talk to someone in school, someone you can turn to that may be able to help you.
"The consequences are a life being taken and you have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life. You have blood on your hands for the rest of your life. It will haunt you as well. It's something you will never get over.
"Tyler being stabbed and killed and losing someone so sudden, my life, my family, my childrens' lives have never been the same again."
In November last year Amy made an emotional plea to end knife crime along with two other mums, Tracey Hanson and Peguy Kato whose sons had also lost their lives.
United by their grief they stood shoulder to shoulder, hands clenched and united by a tragic, unbreakable bond, calling for zero tolerance knife crime laws – which could have saved their loved ones.
Amy told our sister paper the Sunday Mirror: “My son’s killer got just nine years. And he’ll be out in four and a half. We live in fear. Someone who has killed your son should never come out in your lifetime.
“It’s even more difficult that he was let off for carrying a knife. We need a zero tolerance approach. How many kids have to die? Anyone caught with a weapon should be sent to prison.”
