Description: Tower of London: The Tower Remembers
The Tower of London will be marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War with a commemorative display of poppies.
The display (which will be inside the Tower walls) will see nearly 30,000 of the original poppies, made for the 2014 installation, ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’, return to the Tower, marking the sacrifices made during the Second World War. The poppies are on loan from Imperial War Museums and were designed and made by the artist, Paul Cummins. The new display has been created by the designer, Tom Piper. It will create a shared space for visitors to remember and reflect on the collective sacrifice.
Tower Hamlets residents can visit the Tower and see the install for £1.
