A 3D depiction of D-Day made out of 80 metres of wool will be displayed at a church in a Hampshire town. 

The Longest Yarn project depicts the events of June 6, 1944, in 80 scenes including the build-up in England, the fighting on the Landing Beaches and the inland battles.

The artwork, which incorporates both knitting and crochet, will be displayed at the Royal Garrison Church of All Saints in Aldershot, the only location in the South of England that will house the work.

The project was created by the non-profit association The Longest Yarn, based in France, inspired by postbox toppers and yarn bombings showing soldiers from the Second World War.

Panels for the project were broken up and shipped to countries including Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and more with crafters of all age groups taking part. 

Aldershot is the third stop for the artwork in England which was first displayed in Southwell in Nottinghamshire before moving to Llandudno in Wales and then Aldershot.

The project will also be shown in Stoke-on-Trent and Tewkesbury before moving to Enniskillen in Northern Ireland and back to England as it will be displayed in Norwich and Peterborough.

The artwork won't just be travelling around Europe, however, as it will make a stop in New Jersey in the USA in April 2025.

Visitors will be able to see The Longest Yarn at the Royal Garrison Church of All Saints in Farnborough Road from November 1 to November 18.

The display, which is free to enter, will be open from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm Saturday to Sunday.
