Standing in the shadows of giants: 1,475 statues for D-Day memorial

An impressive 1,475 statues have filled the landscape beside a D-Day memorial overlooking 's Golden Beach in honour of each of the servicemen who fell during the historic mission.

The Standing with Giants silhouettes are part of the For Your Tomorrow installation at the British Normandy Memorial, in Ver-Sur-Mer, France.

In a stunning nod to the servicemen who fell on D-Day itself, almost 80 years ago, the fields within the British Normandy Memorial campus have been filled with two-metre-tall statues of soldiers - representing the three military services.
