The Falklands UK tribute of 258 silhouettes, are currently on display at International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln, until January 2023
The 258 silhouetted life-size figures depicting Seafarers, Royal Marines, Army, and Airmen along with 3 civilians, represent those who lost their lives during the 1982 Falklands war. This, along with our other display which is currently in the Falkland Islands, have been created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of liberation on June 14th, 2022.
During the past two years, Standing with Giants have been working hard to produce two installations which represent those who fell whilst liberating the Falkland Islands - for the 40th anniversary on June 14th 2022.
During the past two years, Standing with Giants have worked hard to produce two installations which represent those who fell whilst liberating the Falkland Islands - for the 40th anniversary on June 14th 2022. One installation has been displayed on the Falkland Islands whilst the other has been displayed at Thoresby Park, Nottinghamshire in the UK. This has been relocated at International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln. The Falkland Islands installation was set up at Sapper Hill. The display represents 258 silhouetted life-size figures of Seafarers, Royal Marines, Army, and Airmen and 3 civilians who lost their lives during the 1982 conflict with Argentina.
Dan, and two of the team - his son Luke, and Lucy, an Air Cadet, have taken the 18 hour flight from Brize Norton to the islands to help install the tribute and meet all of the Falkland Island volunteers who have generously given their time to get involved and make our long awaited plans become a reality.
