We were on special assignment this week lighting up The Tower of London with images of wounded soldiers.
The idea was to raise awareness of the plight of wounded war veterans, as part of Haigh Housing Trust’s ‘Coming Home’ Campaign which provides severely wounded soldiers with specially adapted housing.
The images, taken by photographer Rankin, were projected at 30 metres high on the huge moat wall and flanked by high brightness gobos.
Scott Yarrington, 30, was photographed on his prosthetic legs and was displayed alongside James Davies, 40, who was awarded the Military Cross for bravery in Afghanistan.
Carol Vorderman, switched on the display in her role as Group Captain and Ambassador for the RAF Air Cadets and said ‘I felt so privileged to have been asked. It was a very beautiful and moving exhibition’
The week-long event culminated in a fundraising evening, For Queen and Country, to mark the charity’s centenary.
We really enjoyed being a part of this fantastic event. Do pop down and take a look if you’re in the area. Projections run until tomorrow.
