London, UK, 5 August 2014. In the dry moat of the Tower of London, the evolving art installation called "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red", by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, was unveiled to the public to recognise 100 years since the first full day of Britain’s involvement in the First World War. Currently comprising about 120,000 ceramic poppies, the moat will eventually be filled with 888,246 poppies, each poppy representing a British or Colonial military fatality during the war. The last poppy will be symbolically planted on 11 November 2014, Armistice Day. Credit: Stephen Chung/Alamy Li
