October 15, 2025

MORE than 300 volunteers have helped set up an installation in time for Remembrance Day of 1,475 silhouettes representing the British servicemen who died on D-Day.

The Royal Armouries Fort Nelson museum in Portsmouth, Hampshire, stepped in to host the Standing With Giants display after the planned venue had to pull out.

As well as commemorating the servicemen under British command, the tribute features 50 silhouettes representing members of the French resistance.

The installation was most recently shown at the British Normandy Museum in France.
