WW 2014 #33 - Seas of Red

Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, by artist Paul Cummins, is a very poignant memorial work commemorating the First World War. The installation fills the moat of the Tower of London, and is made up of thousands of ceramic poppies. Each poppy has been individually added to the "sea", with each flower representing one of the 888,246 British servicemen and women who lost their lives during WW1. The final poppy will be planted on Armistice Day. All of the poppies have now been sold, but you might like to make a dedication at poppies.hrp.org.uk in honour of a loved one who served, or is still serving, in the military
