“The Longest Yarn 2024 - D Day - 80 Years / 80 Days / 1st 80 Hours” was at Tewkesbury Abbey this month. Luckily we only live 30 minutes away from Tewkesbury so could attend. There were 80 scenes in glass cabinets so a bit difficult to see up close and get a decent photo. This photo was #10 Marching Soldiers. The subject was the disembarkation of soldiers from Weymouth to France. Two women spent 800 hours on this display. All the faces are different and some soldiers are out of step. Lots of information about where it travels to next and the history behind its creation can be found on the internet.
