'Standing with Giants' is the art installation by Witney-based artist Dan Barton in the grounds of Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire between 5th-22nd November 2020.

It features 200 life-size Armistice Day soldier silhouette figures and 75 poppy wreaths. Each figure is made from recycled building materials.

Due to the difficulties brought on by the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic this installation serves as an opportunity to remember The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and all those who have thought for our freedom over the years.
