Jake Moores, who was a Commodore in the Royal Navy looks at some of the 19,420 figurines that have been laid out on College Green as part of the 19240 Shrouds of the Somme art installation on November 11, 2016 in Bristol, England. A memorial service will be held later today besides the artwork by artist Rob Heard, which features 19,240 figurines representing each one of the British soldiers who died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Today, people across the UK and the world will gather to pay tribute to service personnel who have died during conflicts, as part of the annual Remembrance ceremonies marking Armistice Day on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
