Remembrance. Tower of London

A glimpse of the great sea of ceramic poppies now growing in the moat at the Tower of London as a memorial to the 888,246 British military deaths during WWI. Entitled 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' the installation will continue to grow until the finishing date of November 11th 2014.

 

The creation of ceramicist Paul Cummins of Derby and made by a dedicated team of workers, each poppy is individual. Tom Piper, stage designer, is also involved with the overall presentation of this spectacular art work.
