A TRIBUTE featuring 200 full-size silhouettes of soldiers has raised more than £38,000 for the Royal British Legion.
The ‘Standing with Giants’ figures are the work of Witney artist Dan Barton, and were situated at Blenheim Palace for this year’s Remembrance Day.

Blenheim’s operations director Heather Carter said: “We have been overwhelmed by the positive responses we have received to Dan’s poignant tribute to our fallen soldiers.
“The figures have proved to be hugely popular and have helped to raise a significant sum for all the amazing work being done across the country by the Royal British Legion.
“It has been deeply moving to see the effect they have had on people and they have clearly struck a chord with visitors of all ages.”
