Use a floating figure:
Insert->Float->Figure Float
Fill in the caption provided.
If you want the figure above the caption then press Enter at the start of
the caption otherwise press enter at the end of the caption and then
either insert the figures again or cut and paste them into the float.
If you don't want subfigure captions don't fill them in.

A floating figure will be placed by LaTeX where it thinks it would look
best.  It usually does an excellent job but you may not like that.  In
that case set the float options in Layout->Document to "htb" and LaTeX
will try to place the figure right "here" between the two paragraphs of
text unless it won't fit in which case it'll try "top" then "bottom"

Hope this is helpful.
