Standing with Giants (and WidWed results)

We met up with Chrispybox and Mrs CB at Stowe late this afternoon to see the Standing with Giants installation which commemorates the 1475 British military people who lost their lives on 6th June 1944 on, over, or near the beaches of Normandy.  There are also 50 silhouettes representing the French resistance and others representing Nurses who were killed tending to the wounded the following day.

After dark the whole set-up is lit from the side, with music, and becomes quite moving - see the extra.

Well worth seeing - it is at Stowe until 11th November.
