PORTRAITS of First World War casualties will be sculpted into Pembrokeshire sands to mark the centenary of the war's end.

Broadhaven South was selected by Oscar-winning film director, Danny Boyle, to be one of the project's locations.

Large-scale portraits will be sculpted into the sands and then washed away by the tide.

The director is asking for members of the public to gather on the beach on Armistice Day on November 11 and create silhouettes, to remember the millions of lives lost in the conflict.

In a statement to the BBC, Mr Boyle said: "Beaches are truly public spaces, where nobody rules other than the tide.

"They seem the perfect place to gather and say a final goodbye.

"I'm inviting people to watch as the faces of the fallen are etched in the sand and for communities to come together to remember the sacrifices that were made."
