Blood swept lands and seas of red

Installation by the ceramic artist Paul Cummins and the stage designer Tom Piper. It will end up showing 888,246 ceramic poppies at the Tower of London, each poppy representing a British soldier who fought in WW1, with this being the centenary it's very much in the public eye. Each poppy has been handmade and members of the public can buy and install it themselves if they so wish to personally remember a family member. 
It's an ongoing installation at the minute with the final poppy being installed on November 11th- Rememberance Day. 
Absolutely beautiful  But very much a labour of love in Rememberance of those who fought for our freedom 100 years ago.
