Striking sand portraits of World War One casualties have appeared on Britain's beaches in a project by filmmaker Danny Boyle.
The portraits were part of the Pages of the Sea project by Boyle who helped organise groups of people on 32 beaches to create a sand image of a soldier.
The beaches from Cornwall to the Shetland Isles all commemorated one specific person that fought in the war.
People gathered together early on Sunday morning to create the images, using a stencil and a rake to create the images.
After time, the tide came in and washed them away.
At all of the beaches, the 11am two minutes silence was observed.
A portrait of Wilfred Owen was created in Folkestone, Kent.
While a portrait of Second Lieutenant Walter Tull, the first black officer in the British army and the second black professional football player was created on Roseisle beach in Scotland.
The sand images also included women who made contributions during World War One.
In Coleraine, northern Ireland, locals created a portrait of Imperial Military Nurse Rachel Ferguson who died in June 1918.
Danny Boyle said: “I wanted to issue an invitation for you to join is on your own beaches to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, the end of the 14-18 war.
“The idea of being on the beach is that we wanted to create a partner to the more formal ceremony that happens at the cenotaphs around the country every year.
"It’s not an alternative, it’s more of a compliment to try and make it more community based.
“These are amazing democratic places, everybody is equal so we wanted to create an artwork.
"When the tide goes out, the volunteers come together and make an imprint like a photograph of people who served.
“Then we’ll stand back as the tide returns and it will wash these faces away for the last time.
“Let’s fill the beaches around the UK and stand together.
"It would be a final goodbye, a final salute to people who gave their lives.”
