The Peoples's Tribute - Standing with Giants
Monday, February 12, 2024 -- Friday, March 8, 2024, 0900 - 2030
The components for 1,500 life-size soldier silhouettes have been made, and we are inviting community and family groups and organisations to visit us in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire and help paint and assemble a number of figures. We are hoping to get as many different organisations and people to participate so they can be part of this momentous occasion.
The 30-tonne installation will travel to Normandy in April 2024 in a convoy of three articulated lorries. It will be placed between the British Normandy Memorial and Gold Beach. There will be one figure for every name on the British Memorial (1,475). We have also designed and cut out a group of French Resistance, honouring those who supported this endeavour on the French side.
We hope this Standing with Giants installation will show those in their twilight years that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
How can you get involved?
Ideally, we can accommodate in our Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire workshop groups of 8 to 15 people.
Upon your visit, you will be given a short presentation.
You will help assemble and pack approximately 10 silhouettes.
Take part in a photo opportunity in front of our Normandy 80 backdrop; if your organisation has a uniform, please wear it for the photograph.
You will help paint approximately 10 to 20 figures and 10 frames ready for the next group visiting. We have aprons and gloves available.
If you can't make up numbers, we're happy for family members to join you. If this is not possible, we can combine different groups.
The time we have allocated per group visit is approximately 2 hours; visits can be arranged days, evenings, or weekends throughout February 2024.
We currently have a standard Portaloo on site. We hope to receive approximately 80 different groups and family groups to achieve our goal.
If your group has any specific needs, please let us know.
If you are interested in participating, please see what times and dates are available during February and early March 2024 via the Normandy 80 link on our website
