About D-Day 75 Garden
The D-Day 75 Garden is a memorial garden overlooking Gold Beach and the Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches. Designed by gold medal winner John Everiss, it was first exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2019 before being gifted to Arromanches by British Normandy veterans on June 6, 2019, the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The 32m x 12m garden features two life-size sculptures of veteran Bill Pendell MM: one carved from Millstone Grit showing him elderly with his medals and beret, and another ethereal figure representing him at age 22, made from thousands of welded metal washers.

Bill Pendell, the veteran depicted in both sculptures, sadly passed away in December 2018 at age 97, just months before the garden's inauguration. In 1944, he landed on Gold Beach at 22 years old. With his family's blessing, the artist John Everiss created dual portraits: one showing Bill as he was at his death, the other capturing his youth as a soldier—frozen forever at the moment he stepped onto French soil.
