I dropped by the Tower of London late this afternoon to check out the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation comprised of hundreds of thousands of ceramic poppies “planted” to mark the centenary of World War One. There are only a few days left to view the installation by ceramicist Paul Cummins of Derbyshire at the Tower. After Remembrance Day (Wednesday 11 November), all 888,246 poppies will be picked by volunteers and sent to poppy purchasers.
It really is a spectacular site. Of course, the Tower’s worth a visit anytime – poppies or not but if you can make before the installation ends (and there might be a chance it stays longer or that parts of it go on display elsewhere) by all means do! You can buy tickets here.
