Some of the residents from Fleet Hall travelled down to Portsmouth this Tuesday to visit Fort Nelson to see the Standing with Giants display πββοΈ
Standing with Giants is a powerful, poignant art installation featuring 1,475 black silhouettes, representing British servicemen lost on D-Day, displayed at Royal Armouries Fort Nelson in Portsmouth, overlooking the harbor from which they sailed.
Created from recycled materials, the free-to-enter exhibit runs until January 25, 2026, honoring sacrifices with immersive figures
and providing a space for reflection π¬π§
The residents were mesmerised by the display and the gunnery museum, reading letters from soldiers written to family back home. A wonderful tribute which made us all reflect and appreciate our country and services π¬π§
