An cascade of ceramic poppies commemorating the dead of WW1 by ceramic artist Paul Cummins.
Entitled Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, the work (still under construction) will ultimately comprise 888,246 red ceramic flowers planted in the dry moat around the Tower Of London.
The final symbolic poppy will be planted on November 11th, at which point the display will end.
