Among the many creative events and exhibitions that are taking place to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme is the Shrouds of the Somme display in Exeter.
19240 small hand made figures wrapped in shrouds have been created by artist Rob Heard and displayed in lines on the ground, illustrating the enormity of the horror and and loss of life that occurred in the fields on Northern France in the fateful summer and autumn months of 1916.
The display is a combination of a 3 year labour of love for Rob who commenced work in 2013.
