Tower of London Poppies
Was a tourist yesterday in London and the main reason for going was to see the poppies in the Tower of London. Just a couple of photos I took. There are 888,246 ceramic poppies being 'planted' in time for Remembrance Sunday, one for each British fatality in the First World War. Had the same impact on me that the War Cemetery in Cassino, Italy did. No word needed.

Wow. Your Remembrance Day is tomorrow? Ours, known as Veterans Day, isn't till November.
ReplyDeleteNo JoJo, it's November too, they're planting them everyday until 11th November :) xx
DeleteI saw earlier pictures of them planting the poppies - just amazing. I'm sure it was quite moving to see in person.
ReplyDeleteIt really was very moving Alex. There's been more recent pictures of Chelsea Pensioners going, and it really makes you stop and think x
DeleteWow, I'd never seen this or heard about it before. A very touching tribute! So beautiful.
