See a new special commemorative display of ceramic poppies installed at the heart of the Tower of London to mark the 80^th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

The display 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 by so many during the Second World War. 

The specially commissioned installation will resemble a ‘wound’ at the heart of the Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz. Poppies will pour across the lawn overlooked by the ancient White Tower, where the blood-red flowers will form a crater, with ripples flowing outwards. 

On display within the Tower’s walls, the installation will create striking images, reminding us of loss through war, and of the long-lasting impact of conflict. It will create a shared space for visitors to remember and reflect on the collective sacrifice of so many in this important anniversary year.
