Poppies at the Tower of London

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of World War One, The Tower of London has commissioned an art installation titled “Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red”. Created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, 888,246 ceramic poppies will progressively fill the Tower’s famous moat over the summer. Each poppy represents a British military fatality during the war.

Already, some 200,000 poppies have been planted, giving this fantastic view:

The last of the 888,246 poppies will be planted on Armistice Day, 11th November 2014.

To help with the project, you are encouraged to buy one of the many poppies. You can buy one of the ceramic poppies for £25. As well as getting a poppy sent to you at the end of the event, you will be helping to raise money for six service charities. To buy your poppy, please visit this website.
