Standing with Giants: For Your Tomorrow

Standing with Giants
Life-size silhouettes representing the 1,457 servicemen under British Command who gave their lives on D-Day and 50 French resistance fighters will be displayed around the grounds of Fort Nelson in this powerful installation created by charity Standing with Giants .
Fort Nelson, overlooking Portsmouth is a fitting location for the art installation, which will be on display from 22 October.
The Royal Armouries stepped in to host the 'For Your Tomorrow' tribute following a nation-wide appeal for a venue by the BBC, to ensure it will be on display in time for Remembrance Day, 80 years after the Second World War ended.
The installation has recently been on show at the British Normandy Memorial in France and its return to Portsmouth will be a symbolic homecoming for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
More than 200,000 visitors saw the installation in Normandy this year, but this will be the first time the D-Day tribute has been on display on the south coast of England.
The 'Standing with Giants: For Your Tomorrow' tribute will be open to visitors from 22 October to 30 November.
