A talented knitter has helped create a miniature version of the Mulberry Harbour for a D-Day exhibition.
Gill Wright, of Ashton in Makerfield, has knitted a section of the floating harbour, which played a key role in the success of the D-Day landings.
The mini Mulberry Harbour will be part of The Longest Yarn, an 80-metre-long series of panels at an exhibition in Llandudno.
The display was created to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944.
Ms Wright, who had already knitted a panel for the original display, said that she has always loved knitting and crochet.
She said: "I saw on Facebook that Gini was asking for knitters and crocheters to help out with this project in North Wales and I volunteered and I have ended up making the Mulberry Harbour and the huge bow wave it sent up when it was launched."
The exhibition, which runs from Wednesday, October 2, until Sunday, October 27, recreates scenes from the historic military campaign, all knitted and crocheted by 1,500 volunteers from across the world.
It is free to access and money raised will be donated to charities such as the Poppy Appeal.
Claire Mcelroy, from Friends of Mostyn Street, said: "The artificial Mulberry Harbours, developed in great secrecy in Conwy, was a pivotal element in the success of the largest military naval, air and land operation ever which eventually liberated Nazi-occupied north-west Europe."
The artificial harbour was set up at Gold Beach near Arromanches on the Normandy coast and was used for 10 months after D-Day, landing over two million men, four million tons of supplies and half a million vehicles.
Ms Wright said: "The work for The Longest Yarn was very intense.
"The figures all had to be articulated with hardened wire through drinking straws and the arms, boots, belt, hat, sock tops buttons and face stitched on separately.
"All the figures had to be less than three inches tall to be in perspective to the height of the glider.
"It took six hours to make one man and then they had to be dabbed with Sharpies to simulate camo jackets as these were UK troops."
Bringing the free exhibition to Llandudno has been made possible thanks to £20,000 in funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Creu Conwy Town Team, Llandudno Town Council and Llandudno Hospitality Association.
Among the aims is to attract more visitors to the resort during the autumn to provide a boost to businesses.
