All this action was captured on two giant screens supplied by CT Screenco. Contracted by the Ministry of Defense, the company sited two of their waterproof displays a modular 18sq.m 25mm LED screen accompanying their 10sq.m 25mm mobile mast on the Normandy beach, just yards from the English Channel. The screens took feeds direct from the BBC trucks, enabling veterans to follow the ceremony and service clearly.
With its profile in music festivals and parties, CT Screenco is a past-master at rigging its giant displays on beaches - but rarely will an event have been as poignant as this.
