The Poppies: Wave an exhibition of ceramic poppies by Paul Cummins and designed by Tom Piper, the exhibition drew 500,000 visitors to Lincoln Castle a Grade I Listed Building constructed by William the Conqueror in the 11th Century. In Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The full installation, named Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, drew more than five million visitors to the Tower of London in 2014. Each poppy represented one death in the British forces, a total of 888,246.
Other sections of the poppy display - known as the cascade, or Weeping Window - were on display at Black Watch Castle and Museum, in Perth and at Caernarfon Castle in Wales.
A total of £9m was raised for six military service charities after most of the poppies, which were handmade in Derby, were sold to members of the public for £25 each. The poppies installations have been organised by 14-18 NOW, the organisation behind the arts and culture programme for the UK's official World War One centenary celebrations.
