The British Normandy Memorial Sculpture is the centrepiece of the British Normandy Memorial, and was commissioned in 2017 to commemorate the 22,442 people who died in the Normandy campaign under British command on D-Day, 6th June 1944, and in the following months of fighting. The memorial stands at Ver-sur-Mer, overlooking Gold Beach, the centremost of 5 beaches targeted in Operation Overlord. The piece was unveiled in June 2019 to mark the 75th anniversary of the Landings.
