I have a UIViewController, and within that view i have UITableView added in IB

The UITableView displays the items from my array beautifully

I would like to be able to edit the items i.e delete them 

BUT The UITableView does not have a navigation bar, and i am not using a navigation controller within this app i am just adding and removing views manually.

What i would like to do is place an "edit" button somewhere else within the view ... is this possible? and how might i go about this?
