The Tower Remembers.. (Please view larger}

The Tower of London remembers the Great War.

This year marks the anniversary of one hundred years since the First

World War was declared.

Ceramic poppies representing every soldier from Britain and Empire

killed will be planted by November 11. The Artist Paul Cummins was

inspired by the battlefield accounts of an unknown soldier who died in

Flanders. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge unveiled the project and

planted their own poppies. All flowers are to be sold off, raising millions,

to be split between six charities with links to the Armed Forces.

Each poppy is handmade by a team of at least 35 people and it takes

around three days to create.

The British public has flocked to see the installation in their millions,

finding it both moving and beautiful.

Thank you for viewing and commenting.

What a project! Yes, we should never forget, but apparently we do!
