ABOUT STANDING WITH GIANTS:
Standing with Giants is a registered charity founded by Oxfordshire artist Dan Barton. They create large-scale outdoor remembrance art installations, individually hand made from upcycled materials by volunteers. Previous installations include 1,475 giants at Normandy for the 80th Anniversary of D Day in 2024.
These installations provide a meaningful space for people to visit, reflect, grieve, and discuss, bringing individuals together to remember those who fought for freedom, both past and present.
ABOUT THE FALKLANDS TRIBUTE:
The Falklands Tribute includes life-sized silhouettes of the 255 military personnel and 3 civilians who lost their lives during the Falklands conflict in 1982.
These figures will be on display in and around Nothe Fort parade ground and ramparts, for visitors to walk amongst and reflect.
