Description
A farewell event for the community project 'Standing with Giants' takes place at Fort Nelson, in Portchester, UK, as the 1,475 silhouettes prepare to cross the Channel ahead of the D-Day 80th Anniversary. The installation, which represents the soldiers who fell on 6 June 1944, began their journey from Oxfordshire to Portsmouth and will eventually be transported to Normandy, France. "I think this is a very special moment because the 80th anniversary is basically the last major anniversary that the living veterans will live to see," says volunteer Dan Barton. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
