Standing with Giants is returning to Waddesdon Manor with their D-Day 1475 installation in Autumn 2026.
D-Day 1475 – For Your Tomorrow commemorates the 1,475 lives lost on 6 June 1944 under British command on D-Day. The display is created in partnership with Standing With Giants, a community-based project which works to raise understanding and appreciation of our freedom and to remember and pay tribute to those who gave their lives so we could live ours today.
New Figures For 2026
In this third year of display, new figures will be unveiled within the 1,475. These include Beach Masters, Dog Handlers, Royal Navy Officers, Tank Crew, Merchant Navy personnel and Royal Engineers.
Reflecting the broader story of the Normandy Campaign, 40 additional silhouettes representing British Commando Frogmen and personnel serving with the Royal Army Medical Corps will also be included.
