PORTSMOUTH: Standing with Giants Exhibition - Fort Nelson - JANUARY
A one-off and poignant opportunity to view this exhibition which pays respects to those lost in both World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
Life-size silhouettes representing the 1,475 servicemen under British Command who gave their lives on D-Day and 50 French resistance fighters are 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.
The Royal Armouries stepped in to host the 'For Your Tomorrow - The People's Tribute' installation following a nation-wide appeal for a venue, to ensure it was 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. See you there!
