I doubt anyone can have missed the the news items about The Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red poppy installation at the Tower of London. I wanted to see it but with the recent warnings about just how busy it has been, didn't think it was going to happen. However, sitting here on a Saturday evening, eldest daughter visiting for the weekend and we thought why not, lets go now! So at 11pm we headed into town. There were a few people around, several photographers with cameras and tripods just like me, yet it was amazing. You cannot believe the amount of space 888,246 poppies can fill and every one of them represents a service personnel life lost in WWI. Words really do fail me, so I will just share the picture and allow you to imagine it yourself. This is about half of them.
