The giant silhouettes of 1,475 servicemen and two women who died on D-Day have been installed at the British Normandy Museum ahead of the 80th anniversary commemorations.
The installation called For Your Tomorrow has been erected at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, representing the number of fatalities under British command on 6 June 1944.
It will be part of D-Day 80 commemorations at the Memorial and will be available to visit throughout summer next year.
The figures, designed by Witney artist Dan Barton of the Standing with Giants charity, were transported earlier this month to France from Blenheim Palace.

The charity aims to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives through large-scale art installations.
Standing with Giants volunteers and personnel from the RAF's Joint Air Delivery Test and Evaluation Unit (JADTEU), based at RAF Brize Norton, helped to erect the silhouettes.
Mr Barton set up Standing with Giants in 2019, helping local volunteers to use recycled building materials to provide meaningful spaces for people to visit and reflect.
He said: "Our ethos at Standing with Giants is to value life, to understand and appreciate why we have our freedom, and to remember and pay tribute to those who have fallen so we can live the lives we have today. Standing with Giants is a great way of using art to do this."
