The installation of 888,246 ceramic poppies at the Tower of London is being illuminated at night to spectacular effect.
The installation “Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red” is created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins with setting by stage designer Tom Piper.
Each of the 888,246 ceramic poppies represents a British life lost in the First World War.
The installation will continue to grow until 11 November when the last poppy will be planted. The poppies will start to be removed the following day.
Thousands of volunteers have helped plant the poppies with thousands more needed to remove them.
Every night at twilight a Roll of Honour is read.
180 publicly submitted names from the Commonwealth forces who died in the First World War are read by a Yeoman Warder or guest speaker.
At the end of the Roll of Honour the Last Post is played.
