Poppies at the Tower
There are hundreds of these photos around, but my son wanted to see them so I went up to London, only to find it was school holidays and the crowds where huge. So I hung around for the floodlights, when the crowd thinned out a bit.
Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London, marks one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War. Created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, with setting by stage designer Tom Piper, 888,246 ceramic poppies will progressively fill the Tower's moat over the summer. Each poppy represents a British military fatality during the war.
