Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Blood
The Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation in the moat of the Tower of London. By 11 November 2014, ceramic poppies, 888,246 of them, will have been laid right around the moat to commemorate the sacrifice of that number of British and Empire soldiers in the Great War of 1914 -1918.
The poppy format was designed by the artist Paul Cummins and are being set out by volunteers - seen working away on the right - to a plan made by the stage designer Tom Piper.
Remember, each poppy you see represents one life lost.
