COLWYN Bay’s beach will be one of 30 locations throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland which will feature in film maker Danny Boyle’s Armistice Thank You.

The Slumdog Millionaire director is asking people to gather on beaches across the UK on Sunday November 11 to etch the faces of the millions of people whose lives were lost or changed forever by the First World War.

Pages Of The Sea is described as an informal, nationwide gesture of remembrance for the men and women who left their home shores during World War One.

A large-scale portrait of a casualty from the First World War, designed by sand artists, will also be drawn in the sand in many of the locations and washed away as the tide comes in.

The work is the culmination of 14-18 NOW, the UK's arts programme to mark the centenary of Armistice Day.

Danny, originally from Radcliffe, Manchester, studied English and drama at Bangor University.
