"Moat of Red" Poppies in the Moat of the Tower of London.

Huge demand from the public sparked a campaign to keep the installation in place longer.

 

 

Floodlights are already being used to ensure more people get to see the piece created to mark the centenary of the start of World War One.

 

 

Each poppy represents each British and Commonwealth death during WW1.

 

 

The Wave is a steel construction made of poppies surrounding the entrance to the Tower of London while the Weeping Window depicts poppies falling from a window on the top floor of the Tower.
