A memorial for people who have lost their lives since World War Two has been unveiled after a huge community effort.
The commemorative structure at Severn Beach, near Bristol, was made of donated materials with the help of local bricklayers to honour military personnel who lost their lives in the last 80 years.
A group of veterans raised funds for the memorial because they felt the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire was too far away.
Patrick Jackson, who started the fundraiser, said: "It's been a long time in the making. We've had many problems but we eventually achieved what we aimed for. I'm very proud to be here for this."
